Proposed Provision: B5.2. Beginning for those newly eligible in 2025, reconfigure the special minimum benefit: (a) A year of coverage is defined as a year in which 4 quarters of coverage are earned. (b) At implementation, set the PIA for 30 years of coverage equal to 125 percent of the monthly poverty level (about $1,519 in 2023). For those with under 30 years of coverage, the PIA per year of coverage over 10 years is $1,519/20 = $75.95. (c) Index the initial PIA per year of coverage by wage growth for successive cohorts.
