Proposed Provision: Starting in 2012, convert all disabled worker beneficiaries to retired worker status upon attainment of their EEA (rather than their NRA). After conversion, apply the early retirement reduction for retirement at EEA (currently 25%) times the ratio of years after 2011 (or years after attaining age 21, if later) and before attaining age 62, to 40. Medicare eligibility would be extended to age 65 on the basis of disability. After 2011, disability applications would not be accepted for benefit entitlement that would start at ages over EEA.
