Social Security Expansion Moves Toward Quick Conference
Senate action speeds to broaden coverage by 6.7 million workers and raise benefits and payroll taxes. The bill would lift average monthly benefits by about six dollars for 64 million recipients and raise the wage base to 4,200, with a 2 percent tax from employees and employers. Key differences remain with House plans on earnings limits for beneficiaries and scope of coverage, while President Eisenhower presses for broader inclusion though doctors were not added.
