Lawmakers argue earning limits on Social Security too low
Washington Congressmen from across the spectrum debated earnings limits for Social Security recipients at a two day House hearing. Current limits allow up to 1600 a year before benefits fall, with a House plan seeking 2000. Goldwater urged full grants regardless of earnings, while Ball warned of a 2 billion cost to raise limits and favored boosting widows and disabled benefits. Collins pressed for a memo on raising the limit to 4000, noting many avoid work due to the cap.
