Senate Finance Committee Advances Social Security Boost Plan
The Senate Finance Committee unanimously approved a bill to raise minimum Social Security payments for those with 30 years of contributions to $200 a month or $300 for married couples. The measure aims to reduce gaps between low and high earners, shifting from earnings-based returns. Chair Russell B. Long noted current 30 year minimums at about $133 monthly, and the proposed change would lift it by $67 to within $16 of the $216 maximum.

Revised Social Security Pay Raises Then Narrow Gap
The plan seeks 10 to 15 percent higher benefits before final action on the Social Security bill. It aims to balance generous monthly payments for low income retirees with modest raises for those with other income sources. Immediate cost is about 110 million dollars yearly, long term around 1.5 billion. The Senate formula would grant 10 dollars per year worked over ten, yielding 100 dollars at twenty years, 150 at twenty five, and 200 at thirty, with 50 percent added for spouses. Nixon admin favored a 5 percent across the board, while Rep. Mills urged 20 percent.
