Congressional Report on reveiw of the Notch Years.

"In fact, considering the value of their benefits relative to the Social Security taxes which they paid, those born in the "Notch" years are, in general, receiving a greater return from Social Security than will subsequent generations of beneficiaries. In addition, their "replacement rate"Cthe percentage of pre-retirement earnings replaced by benefit paymentsCis equal to that of retirees who follow them, which was also the intent of the 1977 amendments. In this sense they are "doing well" as beneficiaries of the system, although not as "well" as those who came before them,(8) especially those who worked well beyond 62."
