Key Points

This bill would require the Social Security Administration to change the names of retirement ages in all its official guides and websites. The goal is to make it easier for people to understand how their choice of when to retire affects their monthly check.
The term early eligibility age would be changed to minimum monthly benefit age. This helps workers see that claiming benefits as early as possible results in the lowest possible monthly payment.
The terms full retirement age and normal retirement age would be replaced with standard monthly benefit age. This is the age when a person gets their basic benefit without any increases or decreases.
The bill would also use the term maximum monthly benefit age instead of delayed retirement credit. This refers to age 70, which is the latest age a person can wait to get the highest possible monthly payment.
The Social Security Administration would have until the start of 2027 to update all its print and online materials. This change does not affect how much money people actually receive, only the words used to describe the rules.
