Description of Proposed Provision:
B3.8: Beginning with those newly eligible for OASDI benefits in 2024, create a new bend point at the 50th percentile of the AIME distribution of newly retired workers and gradually reduce all PIA factors except for the 90 percent factor. By 2057: a) the 32 percent PIA factor below the new bend point reduces to 30 percent; b) the 32 percent PIA factor above the new bend point reduces to 10 percent; and c) the 15 percent PIA factor reduces to 5 percent.

Estimates based on the intermediate assumptions of the 2017 Trustees Report
