Proposed Provision: Progressive price indexing of PIA formula factors beginning with individuals newly eligible for OASDI benefits in 2017. Create new bend point at the 50th percentile of earners. Maintain current-law benefits for earners at the 50th percentile and below and reduce upper 2 formula factors (32% and 15%) such that maximum worker benefit grows by inflation rather than the growth in average wages.
