The House Ways and Means Committee backed automatic cost of living increases as part of a Social Security overhaul. The plan would raise widow benefits, extend Medicare to the disabled after 24 months, and adjust hospital, premium, and benefit rules with estimated 1.5 billion annual cost for the Social Security cash schedule. It would also raise the minimum monthly benefit and credits for working couples, with broader coverage for those who retire after 65 or quit work early.
