Bill proposed in Congress would lower Social Security full-benefit age for physically demanding jobs

A newly introduced bill would allow workers in physically demanding 'blue collar' occupations to claim full Social Security retirement benefits earlier than the current age of 67. Roughly 40% of U.S. civilian workers hold jobs involving heavy lifting, carrying, pushing or pulling, a group the bill's supporters say faces greater physical strain by retirement age. The current 67-year threshold applies to anyone born in 1960 or later.
