Senate approves 190 minimum Social Security raise
The Senate voted a $190 minimum payment and a 15 percent boost in monthly Social Security benefits, risking House resistance on raising the minimum to 100 dollars. The bill would raise the wage base to 12,000 in 1973, funding the increase for about 25 million beneficiaries starting in April. The Mansfield Byrd plan seeks stronger gains, costing about $6.2 billion annually and lifting many out of poverty. A separate amendment would expand a college tax credit, costing about $1.9 billion yearly.
