Congress Set To Give OK To Social Security Hike
Washington AP Congress expected to approve a 5.6 percent increase in Social Security benefits in a broad bill. The measure would raise the average retired monthly payment from 161 to 170 dollars and extend the federal debt limit while cutting off funds for Cambodian bombing. The package also reshapes payroll tax, exempt earnings, Medicaid eligibility, campaign tax checkoff, and unemployment benefits, with a five month extension of the debt ceiling to avert a Treasury funding gap.
