Starting in 2026, Social Security Administration raises full retirement age to 67 for everyone born after 1960 Americans must work longer because Congress keeps spending our Social Security Senator Tommy Tuberville CONFIRMS they spend our Social Security, “It’s all a scam — what happens, it comes up here, we spend it” “This is all a scam. I mean, we got people that's getting ready to retire that's gonna try to live off $2k-$3k, Impossible. It's impossible. Because what happens, it comes up here, we spend it.“ “In this body, we had better start figuring that out because we're gonna have a run from this city here soon, and there's gonna be about a 150 million people coming up here saying, where's our damn money that we paid in?”
Everyone expects retirement age to be 65 for social security - 65 was the original retirement age - In 1983, Congress passed amendments to gradually increase the full retirement age - It rises by 2 months per birth year until reaching 66 for those born 1943–1954 - Then continues increasing to 67 for those born in 1960 or later - Now that it’s finally reached 67, no further increases are planned but Congress Rep have made statements about raising it all the way up to age 70 Increasing the retirement age wouldn’t be needed at all if Congress would stop using the money Americans pay into it
