H.R. 5284

Claiming Age Clarity Act

Finance Committee, Ways and Means Committee · Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-PA)

29 September 2026 | Passed Senate (unanimous consent)

What's next: Presidential review (±10 days)

Summary: The bill would require the Social Security Administration to change the terminology it uses when describing when workers can claim retirement benefits. Specifically, it would replace "early eligibility age" with "minimum monthly benefit age," "full retirement age" and "normal retirement age" with "standard monthly benefit age," and introduce "maximum monthly benefit age" for age 70, while eliminating the term "delayed retirement credit" from SSA materials.
