    Social Security retirement age rises to 67 in 2025: What 1960-born Americans need to know about full benefits
    ( AI-generated image )

    There is a new variety to consider for many Americans who are nearing retirement, 67. According to Newsweek, the full retirement age ( FRA ) for Social Security officially increases to 67 for those born in 1960 as of 2025, according to the Newsweek. This marks the end of a decades-long phase-in that determines how and when millions of people can say their advantages. The situation is not unexpected. It is the result of changes to the Social Security Act from 1983 that were made to improve the program’s income and make the accounts for people who live long. However, the shift is just beginning to be felt as more older American reach the age of 65. People born in 1960 does turn 65 in 2025, but they won’t be eligible for full pension benefits until they’re 67. That’s the most recent breakthrough in a continuous two-year increase over the 65-year-old retirement age. Benefits versus Quick: Participating in Full Benefits Rewards can begin at age 62. Nonetheless, early retirees are permanently reduced. A person who earns$ 1, 000 per month at the age of 67 would receive only$ 700 if they started out at age 62, according to the Social Security Administration. On the other hand, waiting past the FRA may increase monthly payments. If a person waits until age 70, their benefit could increase to$ 1,240, or 24 %, for the additional three years. Who will receive the full gains in 2025? In 2025, only those who were born before 1960 may be eligible for full benefits. Those who turn 65 that time will have to delay until 2027 when they turn 67. The precise retirement age is determined by the baby year:

    • Born 1943–1954: FRA is 66
    • Born 1955: FRA is 66 and 2 weeks
    • Born 1956: FRA is 66 and 4 times
    • Born 1957: FRA is 66 and 6 times
    • Born 1958: FRA is 66 and 8 weeks
    • Born 1959: FRA is 66 and 10 times
    • Born 1960 or after: FRA is 67

    Why is the situation important now? Almost 4 million Americans are expected to move 65 by 2025. This is a result of what experts refer to as the” silver tsunami,” a term for the large number of older people who are now approaching retirement age. The Social Security system is under more financial strain to keep up with payments as more people leave. According to a 2024 report from the Social Security Board of Trustees, Michael Ryan, a finance professional and chairman of MichaelRyanMoney .com,” This isn’t just a administrative adjustment, but it also represents a response to increasing life spans and the economic problems facing Social Security.” After that time, the system could only pay about 77 % of the scheduled benefits. The majority of legislators remain divided. Liberals are urging a different approach to raising the retirement years, while Republicans have pushed for a new recommendation for 2024. The Social Security and Medicare Fair Share Act was reintroduced by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Brendan Boyle. It may levy pay taxes on income over$ 400, 000, which is now exempt under the$ 188,600 tax cap. By making the wealthiest Americans pay what they owe, Boyle stated in a media release:” This act would shield Social Security and Medicare for years.” We’re working to protect the benefits that millions of Americans have earned while Republicans are pushing for a$ 7 trillion tax increase for the ultra-rich, and we won’t let it be taken to fund another billionaire windfall.
