Retirement Age

Description of Proposed Provision:
Starting in 2016, convert all disabled-worker beneficiaries to retired-worker status upon attainment of their earliest eligibility age (EEA) rather than their normal retirement age (NRA). After conversion, apply the early retirement reduction for retirement at EEA (currently 25 percent for those age 62 in 2016) phased in over 40 years.

Estimates based on the intermediate assumptions of the 2013 Trustees Report
