Plan to Make Social Security Independent Agency Clears House Panel
The House Ways and Means Committee voted to make Social Security an independent agency, aiming to shield the program from politics and budget cutting. The panel also rejected efforts to remove SSI immigrants from benefits while endorsing action against middlemen who fraudulently aid disability claims. The bill heads to the floor with Clinton’s backing, and differences with the Senate will be settled in conference.
