The proposal, effective July 1, would raise employee and employer tax to 2.5 percent on up to 4,200 in wages and 3.75 percent for self employed. It would add about 1.1 million people to monthly checks and bring 220,000 more into the program, including lawyers and dentists. It would raise the widow and retiree benefit age to 62, allow disabled workers to draw at 50, and extend survivor benefits beyond age 18 for disabled children of deceased workers. House Ways and Means Committee approved the plan, with Senate action uncertain before adjournment.

Senate and House dynamics shift as Lyndon Johnson’s leadership accelerates action on key bills.
