Social Security Terminology Overhaul: Clearer Names for Retirement Ages

This bill mandates the Social Security Administration (SSA) to replace confusing retirement age terms with simpler language by January 2025.

This aims to improve public understanding of retirement documents.
Key points
The 'early eligibility age' will be renamed the 'minimum benefit age.'
The 'full retirement age' will be replaced by the 'standard benefit age.'
The term 'delayed retirement credit' will be eliminated, replaced by references to the 'maximum benefit age' (age 70).
