Unexpected Items: 2 provisions
These provisions fall outside the bill’s main subject or apply narrowly. This describes the text; it is not a judgment.
Exception or delay for a subset (2)
- Sec. 2: Replacement of the windfall elimination provision with a formula equalizing benefits for certain individuals with noncovered employment: Sets a new benefit formula that counts recorded noncovered earnings as wages, but leaves out earnings from noncovered service as a member of a uniformed service.
- Sec. 5: Reporting of noncovered earnings on social security account statements: Adds noncovered earnings to Social Security account statements, but excludes service as a member of a uniformed service from the amount reported.
What it does
- Sec. 2: Adds a new paragraph to section 215(a) of the Social Security Act that multiplies the primary insurance amount by a fraction based on average indexed monthly earnings with and without noncovered earnings, for individuals who first become eligible after 2067 and have noncovered service after 1977.
- Sec. 2: Treats recorded noncovered earnings from each year after 1977 as wages when determining average indexed monthly earnings under the new formula, and excludes noncovered service as a member of a uniformed service.
- Sec. 3: Sets the primary insurance amount for individuals who first become eligible after 2024 and before 2068 at the higher of the amount under the existing paragraph (7) or the amount that would be computed under the new formula.
- Sec. 4: Requires the Commissioner of Social Security to pay an additional $100 per month to each eligible individual, and $50 per month to certain others entitled to a benefit on an eligible individual's record, for months beginning at least 270 days after enactment.
- Sec. 5: Amends section 1143(a)(2) of the Social Security Act to add earnings from service after 1977 that was not employment, other than uniformed service, to Social Security account statements issued on or after January 1, 2025.
- Sec. 6: Requires the Commissioner to study and test the feasibility of partnering with State and local pension systems on noncovered pension information, to conclude the study within 4 years of enactment, and to report to the Ways and Means and Finance Committees.
