Ike Administration Rejects Social Security Benefit Hike
The Eisenhower administration rejected proposals to raise Social Security retirement benefits for women at 62 and disability payments at 50. Secretary Folsom also rejected raising the Social Security tax from 2 to 2 1/2 percent, citing a $1.7 billion first-year increase. He argued the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance system is in strong shape and would be self-supporting with tax increases only if revenue grows and benefits stay tied to funding.
