Committee OKs 5 Percent Increase In Social Security
Washington AP The House Ways and Means Committee approved a five percent across the board increase in Social Security benefits to be effective June 1, 1972. The measure adds to a 10 percent rise this year and a 15 percent increase last year, with automatic annual increases tied to 3 percent cost of living changes but no automatic rise in the year after a legislative increase. The plan would cost about $2.1 billion in the first full year, with no immediate tax hikes beyond existing rises, and a 145 dollar maximum tax for workers earning 10,200 dollars or more plus their employers. The committee voted 13 to 12.
