Description of Proposed Provision:
B5.3: Beginning for those newly eligible in 2018, reconfigure the special minimum benefit: (a) A year of coverage is defined to be either a year in which 4 quarters of coverage are earned or a child is in care. Childcare years are granted to parents who have a child under 5, with a limit of 8 such years. (b) At implementation, set the PIA for 30 years of coverage equal to 125 percent of the monthly poverty level (about $1,238 in 2016). For those with under 30 years of coverage, the PIA per year of coverage over 10 years is $1,238/20 = $61.90. (c) Index the initial PIA per year of coverage by wage growth for successive cohorts.
