Proposed Provision: Increase the PIA to a level such that a worker with 30 years of earnings at the minimum wage level would receive an adjusted PIA equal to 120 percent of the Federal poverty level for an aged individual. This provision would take full effect for all newly eligible OASDI workers in 2028, and would be phased in for new eligible in 2019 through 2027. The percentage increase in PIA would be lowered proportionately for those with fewer than 30 years of earnings, down to no enhancement for workers with 20 or fewer years of earnings. (Year-of-work requirements are scaled for disabled workers based on their years of potential work from age 22 to benefit eligibility). The benefit enhancement percentage would be reduced proportionately for workers with higher average indexed monthly earnings (AIME), down to no enhancement for those with AIME at least twice that of a 35-year steady minimum wage earner.
