Social Security would rename benefit ages across its agency materials

Social Security would replace its terms for benefit ages. The wording requirements would cover all agency rules, guidance, and online or printed materials. “Early eligibility age” would become “minimum monthly benefit age.” “Full retirement age” and “normal retirement age” would become “standard monthly benefit age.” The agency would stop using “delayed retirement credit” and call age 70 the “maximum monthly benefit age” when describing the limit for earning those credits. The agency would have to complete these wording changes by January 1, 2027.
