Nixon Social Security Boost Move Heads to White House
Congress sent the 20 percent Social Security increase and related tax changes to President Nixon, who is expected to act before a family trip to California. The plan raises benefits in September with checks in October, finances the rise with payroll tax hikes through 1974, and includes provisions for flood and disaster refunds. The Senate approved 82 to 4 and the House 302 to 35 amid partisan critiques of politics over policy.
