Roosevelt social security plan nears Senate vote today
Washington June 18 The Roosevelt social security program nears a final Senate vote with its major provisions intact. The tax plan raises rather than lowers levies to finance old age pensions and unemployment insurance, the largest federal levy proposed by any president. If approved by the Senate after House passage, the bill would provide federal grants of 15 dollars a month for needy individuals over 65, with state matching, plus a 3 percent payroll tax on employers for unemployment insurance and a 3 percent tax on both employers and employees from 1949 to fund old age pensions of 10 to 85 dollars monthly, plus about 100 million dollars yearly for dependent and crippled children, mothers aid, and similar welfare work.
