The Age Discrimination Act of 1992 was enacted as an adjunct to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The Age Discrimination Act of 1992 prohibits mandatory retirement at age 70. The act also prohibits Employee Benefit Plans from discriminating against employees in the 40 to 70 age group as to contributions or benefits. As our workforce ages and our economy is in a slump, many people are finding that they need or want to work to an older age. This law protects those who want to work past age 70 from being forced to retire and prevents them from losing benefits or having them reduced simply because they are older. The Age Discrimination Act of 1992, like the ADEA is enforced by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) an agency of the federal government. If you believe you are a victim of age discrimination, you can file a complaint directly with the EEOC.
