Johnson backs social security expansion for women and disabled
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson urged extending Social Security benefits by lowering the eligibility age for women to 60 or 62 and making disabled workers eligible at injury or illness. The plan also would aid widows and younger wives, with House Democrats preparing a bill for floor action. The Finance Committee will review the cost, including roughly 1 percent of payroll for the women’s option and six‑tenths of 1 percent for disability. House leaders plan to move soon, with tax hikes deferred to later years.
