10 or 11
years old in 2026
Everyone born in 2015 turns 11 on their birthday in 2026. By October 27, people with birthdays from January 1 to October 27 are already 11, and the rest are still 10. Most of 2015 was the year of the Wood Goat in the Chinese zodiac. Lunar New Year came on February 19, 2015, so babies born before it are the Wood Horse.

Retirement and Medicare ages for 2015
People born in 2015 can start Social Security at 62, in 2077, at a reduced rate. Their full retirement age is 67, which they reach in 2082. Each year they wait after that, up to 70 in 2085, raises the monthly amount. A January 1, 2015 birthday counts as 2014 for this rule.

Required minimum distributions from IRAs start at 75 for anyone born in 1960 or later, so 2090 for this group. That rule comes from the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022.
