High Court Reverses Social Security Retroactivity Decision
The Supreme Court overturned a New York federal court ruling that a 1972 amendment banning sex discrimination in Social Security benefits must be retroactive. The decision could save the government about 17.5 billion dollars and prevent broader increases for nine million retirees. The court also denied hearing Leonard Crow Dog in the Wounded Knee case and left intact a non retroactive adjustment policy. In a separate ruling, the justices allowed a tire quality grading system to proceed to reduce consumer confusion in auto tire purchases.
