Retirement at 62 for Woman Asked
Washington late Sen Smathers said the Senate will likely vote to allow all eligible women to draw Social Security retirement benefits at age 62. He noted the forthcoming vote on a proposal to create a new disability program would be very close. The House had passed a bill a year earlier to provide disability benefits and allow 62 for women, while keeping the 65 minimum for all. The Senate Finance Committee trimmed disability provisions and limited 62 benefits to widows, a move Smathers opposed.
