Social Security’s leadership says raising the retirement age is not under consideration after Commissioner Frank Bisignano walked back a televised remark that “everything’s being considered,” and publicly clarified that “raising the retirement age is not under consideration.

In a Fox Business interview previously referenced by Fortune, Bisignano said: “I think everything’s being considered, will be considered.” He also said: “Remember, most people told you and I Social Security wasn’t going to be around, and it’s going to be around. And so the generations that are coming in will probably have a different set of rules than we had.”
