A bill 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.
S 692 requires the Social Security Administration to update its terminology in all materials by January 1, 2025. It mandates replacing "early eligibility age" with "minimum benefit age," "full retirement age" and "normal retirement age" with "standard benefit age," and removing "delayed retirement credit" while using "maximum benefit age" instead of age 70 references. This change directly affects individuals interacting with Social Security rules, forms, and online resources, ensuring consistent terminology for clarity. The bill focuses solely on renaming terms, not altering benefit calculations or eligibility rules.
