With the proposal, a person will lose out on collecting 2 years worth of benefits but after that, they receive 100% of what they are entitled to.

However, under the current system, a person who delays retirement until age 69 will get 124% of what they are entitled to. If retirement is raised to 69, then a person would have to work till age 71 to get 124% of what they are entitled to . Everything shifts 2 years.

How many people will croak before they reach 69? That's certainly a reduction in benefits. NBachers Jun 2023 #15

If the retirement age is raised, one collects for fewer years progree Jun 2023 #19

But one will still get 100% of benefits at age 69... Kaleva Jun 2023 #20
