georgia retirement exclusion age difference

I was reviewing some posts on Georgia retirement exclusion and one answer contains conflicting info in this post " I have underlined the conflicting info. 

This is the title of the earlier post I refer to? :  What is considered retirement income in order to get deduction for state of GA return but was included in federal return?  

 

One part of the answer provided  says : "Georgia does not tax Social Security retirement benefits and provides a deduction of $65,000 per person on all types of retirement income for anyone 64 or older."

 

a couple of paragraphs later it says "As of 2015, you can deduct up to $35,000 of retirement income if you are between the ages of 62 and 64 or permanently disabled. At age of 65, you can deduct up to $65,000. "

 

Which age does the 65 k exclusion hit?  64 or 65 or older?

 

2nd question what date in the year does one have to be the age to qualify.. i.e if I turn 64 in  December 2019, will that qualify me for the exclusion when I prepare my 2019 states? 

 

Thanks in advance!
