Social Security Benefit Increases and Tax Changes
The proposed Social Security bill would raise monthly benefits from 30 to 108.50 for individuals to 33 to 116, with later tops for survivors and families. Payroll taxes would jump by 1.1 billion while the employer and employee rate rises to 2 percent each and the wage base climbs to 4800. The self employed rate shifts to 3 percent, and future tax increases would occur every three years. The eventual top tax rate would be 4 percent in 1969. About 5.6 million receive public assistance with changes to federal shares for adults and children. The Senate trimmed public assistance costs and restored matching formulas, while resisting liberalizing proposals during a Saturday session before adjournment.
