House approves 5 percent Social Security boost and welfare reform
The Ways and Means Committee backed a $12 billion bill tying a 5% Social Security rise to Nixon welfare reforms. It would raise benefits to about $2.1 billion starting June 1, 1972, with automatic increases tied to cost of living and potential payroll tax changes for high earners. State funding shifts and eligibility rules aim to curb welfare rolls while expanding job training and public service jobs. The measure drew criticism from welfare groups and church groups as inadequate reform.
