Proposed Provision: B1.3. Progressive price indexing (40th percentile) of PIA factors beginning with individuals newly eligible for OASDI benefits in 2023: Create a new bend point at the 40th percentile of the AIME distribution of newly retired workers. Maintain current-law benefits for earners at the 40th percentile and below. Reduce the 32 and 15 percent factors above the 40th percentile such that the initial benefit for a worker with AIME equal to the taxable maximum grows by inflation rather than the growth in the SSA average wage index.
