Bigger Social Security bite hits paychecks next week
The U S government will raise Social Security tax from 42 to 44 percent next week to fund increased benefits especially Medicare for the elderly. An extra one billion dollars will go to the Social Security trust funds in 1967 while workers face higher withholdings on earnings up to the cap. The medicare portion rises to support medical care with the rest funding regular Social Security benefits. Taxes and benefits are set to grow through 1987, with future increases possible if Congress acts.
