Among the changes Social Security recipients will see in 2025 is a higher full retirement age.
This age represents when workers can begin receiving 100 percent of their retirement benefits, calculated based on their lifetime earnings.
Originally, the full retirement age was set at 65. However, Congress passed legislation in 1983 to gradually raise this threshold, aligning it with longer life expectancies, according to the Social Security Administration.
The full retirement age, also referred to as the “normal” retirement age, has been increasing incrementally in recent years. Each birth year sees a two-month increase in the retirement age.
