Senate panel backs Social Security tax and benefit hikes
The Senate Finance Committee tentatively supports a $1 billion payroll tax increase to fund Social Security and a $50 million boost to benefits plus a $40 million cost of living raise starting July 1. The plan signals potential enactment though final actions hinge on broader fiscal year decisions. Senator Paul Laxalt backs using funds to begin phasing out the earnings test, while the $500 million COLA is already law and will begin in July.
