	abstract = {While Social Security{\textquoteright}s Normal Retirement Age (NRA) is increasing to 67, the Earliest Eligibility Age (EEA) remains at 62.  Similar plans to increase the EEA raise concerns that they would create excessive hardship on workers that are worn-out or in bad health.  One simple rule to increase the EEA is to tie an increase to the number of quarters of covered earnings.  Such a provision would allow those with long worklives {\textemdash} presumably the less educated and lower paid {\textemdash} to quit earlier.  We provide evidence that this simple rule would not satisfy the goal of preventing undue hardship on certain workers.  Thus, this paper considers an alternative policy that ties an increase in the EEA to individuals{\textquoteright} Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME).  We show that allowing workers with low AIME to continue to be eligible to receive benefits at age 62 has promise as a policy to protect workers who have low earnings and are in poor health from hardship associated with an increase in the EEA.},

	abstract = {The Health and Retirement Study (HRS), administered by the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan, is a longitudinal survey of the population of U.S. households with at least one adult between the ages of 51 and 61 in 1992 (individuals born between 1931 and 1941). Wave 1 of the survey was carried out in 1992 with subsequent waves to be conducted every two years. In Wave 1, the HRS collected data on 12,652 respondents from 7,702 households. In accordance with an agreement with the Social Security Administration, HRS respondents were asked to grant ISR permission to obtain the respondents{\textquoteright} earnings histories as reported to the Social Security Administration. Such data are extremely valuable because they provide unusually accurate administrative earnings histories over an unusually long period, 1951- 1991, and these data can be used in conjunction with the wealth of survey information collected in the HRS itself. Because of the highly confidential nature of the data, the earnings histories are not part of the FIRS public release data sets; rather, the Social Security earnings data are provided only through special permission from the HRS.},
