Proposed Provision: B1.5. Progressive price indexing (60th percentile) of PIA factors beginning with individuals newly eligible for OASDI benefits in 2026: Create a new bend point at the 60th percentile of the AIME distribution of newly retired workers. Maintain current-law benefits for earners at the 60th percentile and below. Reduce the 32 and 15 percent factors above the 60th 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.
