SS Taxes Rise for Higher Earners in 1977
Washington AP reports higher Social Security taxes affect earners over 15300 annually, with top tax rising to 965.25 and self-employed cap to 1303.50 in 1977. The change accompanies a 6.4 percent benefits boost in 1976, funded by a 5.65 percent wage tax, while fears grow the trust fund may need general tax support as payouts rise. Medicare hospital insurance costs also climb, increasing beneficiary bills and premiums for supplemental coverage. The earnings limit for withholding retirement benefits increases to 3000, reducing benefits above that threshold.
