Social Security Terminology Changes for Clarity

This act aims to simplify the language used by the Social Security Administration. It renames certain retirement age terms to make them clearer and easier for citizens to understand. This will make information about retirement benefits more accessible.
Key points
The term "early eligibility age" will be replaced with "minimum monthly benefit age."
The terms "full retirement age" and "normal retirement age" will be replaced with "standard monthly benefit age."
The term "delayed retirement credit" will be removed, and references to age 70 as the maximum age for receiving it will be replaced with "maximum monthly benefit age."
