Summary:

Provides background on the "notch" issue created as a result of social security benefit revisions under the Social Security Act Amendments of 1977, which caused differences in benefits for persons of similar work histories born from 1917 to 1921 compared with those born in other years. Explains benefit levels before, during, and after the "notch"; summarizes the Dec. 29, 1994, report of the Commission on the Social Security "Notch" Issue; and reviews advocacy group activity, potential for future notches, and legislative activity
