Washington UPI The House Ways and Means Committee approved a billion dollar election year measure to boost all social security benefits by 5 percent and extend eligibility to about half a million seniors in their seventies. The plan finances higher payments by raising payroll taxes to 3.8 percent on the first 5400 of income and expanding the wage base. The current monthly maximum would rise from 127 to 133.40 and later to 193.40 as the tax base widens. See PENSIONS on Page 2.
