Summary Measures and Graphs

Description of Proposed Provision:
Beginning with those newly eligible for OASDI benefits in 2016, multiply all PIA formula factors each year by 0.991. Stop reductions after 2044. Disabled workers are: (a) not affected prior to normal retirement age; and (b) subject to a proportional reduction in benefits, based on the worker's years of disability, upon conversion to retired-worker beneficiary status. Young survivors (children of deceased workers and surviving spouses with a child in care) are not affected.

Estimates based on the intermediate assumptions of the 2012 Trustees Report
