Welfare Reform Package Clears House Committee
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a 9 billion package of new Social Security and welfare reforms. It rejected an across the board Social Security increase, set a 2400 annual income floor for a family of four, and planned 145.20 tax rises for high earners. The plan shifts welfare costs to the federal government and aims to supersede food stamps with a direct benefit, with full implementation expected in 1972.
