I agree; that will make it easier for me to LTD out. Perhaps add cognitive testing ... I'm sure there are more than a few here that think I have a defective brain. I think I can fail that test fairly easily.

Here's an article confirming that it's a rumor that Sen Graham's pushing this:

If you're thinking about writing a letter to his office, he's currently 66 so I don't think it'll be very effective.

Given that this is an election year and there's still a lot of work to be done on this, I wouldn't expect to see a change before 2023; probably after the new batch of congresscritters get sworn in.
Maybe Biden will veto it? I mean, a 79 year old will surely have a problem with raising the retirement age to 67.
Also, a lot of our congresscritters are older than 67. So if (more likely when) this gets out of committee, it's likely to pass.
