Title: ●Workers' Compensation Offset Extension From Age 65 to Full Retirement Age--Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE Act) 
Abstract:

We are revising our regulations to incorporate changes made by the ABLE Act to section 224 of title II Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Benefits of the Social Security Act.  The ABLE Act amends title II by changing the age at which disability (DIB) benefits are no longer subject to reduction (offset), from age 65, to the day the individual attains Full Retirement Age.  This provision will apply to individuals whose DIB benefit is offset for workers' compensation/public disability benefits and who attain age 65 on December 19, 2015, or later.
