Social Security Changes Recommended by Ways and Means
The Ways and Means Committee proposed far reaching social security amendments, forecasting roughly 1.71 billion dollars in three year tax savings for business and workers. The plan freezes the old age pension tax, starts pensions in 1940, ends the large reserve fund idea, creates a smaller fund, and expands benefits including for aged wives widows children and dependent parents. About 1.1 million more people would join old age insurance and 200,000 more under unemployment.
