Reagan's 1981 attempt to accelerate Social Security's retirement age was defeated by a 96-0 Senate vote
+Reagan's 1981 attempt to cut Social Security's early-retirement benefits was defeated by a 96-0 Senate vote

Why this is better

Verified the correction was already applied correctly in the article body (no other mentions of the 1981 vote or retirement-age figure exist elsewhere in the article, including references). FAQ field checked and does not reference this fact at all. No changes needed; confirming already-correct state.
