Title: Extension of the Workers' Compensation Offset 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 the Social Security Act.  The ABLE Act amends section 224(a) by changing the age at which disability insurance benefits (DIB) are no longer subject to reduction (offset) based on receipt of workers' compensation or public disability benefits, from age 65 to the day the individual attains full retirement age.  This provision applies to individuals whose DIB payment is offset for workers' compensation/public disability benefits and who attain age 65 on December 19, 2015, or later.
