Notch babies
You may have heard the legend of the notch babies. There is always a group out there raising money to try to increase Social Security benefits for notch babies, who were born between 1917 and 1921. The fundrasiers say they need money to lobby Congress to correct an error that led to notch babies receiving less money than they should have for the last 30 years.
This article has a full explanation - and some mythbusting - on this topic.

Up until now, I have been under the impression that the notch babies were included in the years between 1917 and 1926. Now they say that they are included in the years between 1917 and 1921. What is the truth? Jack

To Jack and Leslie:
1917-1921 is correct.
