What this bill would do

The Claiming Age Clarity Act requires the Social Security Administration to update its terminology. The Commissioner must change how specific retirement ages are described in all rules, regulations, guidance, and other materials, whether they are printed or online. This includes replacing terms like "early eligibility age" and "full retirement age" with new phrasing. The bill also aims to remove the term "delayed retirement credit." These changes must be completed no later than January 1, 2027.
