Social Security hike proposed by Mills in election year
Washington AP Mills proposes a 20 percent Social Security benefit boost, replacing the 5 percent raise, funded by a tax shift that lowers this year’s payroll tax but raises taxes next year on higher incomes. The plan, backed by Mills and under Senate review, would lift average monthly benefits from 133 to 162 for retired workers, 222 to 269 for couples, and 114 to 153 for widows. The measure cites adequate funding and aims to broaden benefits above poverty levels while softening immediate tax impact.
