Bill Summary
AN ACT To require the Social Security Administration to make changes to the social security terminology used in the rules, regulation, guidance, or other materials of the Administration.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to update its terminology related to retirement ages within 12 months of enactment or by January 1, 2027. Specifically, the bill mandates three key language changes: first, "early eligibility age" must be replaced with "minimum monthly benefit age"; second, both "full retirement age" and "normal retirement age" must be replaced with "standard monthly benefit age"; and third, the term "delayed retirement credit" cannot be used, and references to age 70 as the maximum age for receiving delayed retirement credits must be replaced with "maximum monthly benefit age". These changes aim to clarify and standardize the language used in SSA rules, regulations, guidance, and other materials, both online and in print. The goal appears to be making social security age-related terminology more straightforward and less confusing for the public, potentially helping individuals better understand their retirement benefit options.
