Fatter Social Security Checks Possible Soon
Congress plans a compromise Social Security bill to raise benefits for 3.7 million people with changes including a 10 percent boost for survivor beneficiaries and a higher minimum, funded by higher payroll taxes. If signed by Kennedy, increases would take effect in early September or October. The measure also lets men retire at 62 with reduced benefits and affects 1.5 million widows plus 2.2 million retirees. The same bill would raise truck and tire taxes and halt a planned fuel tax cut to fund highway completion by 1972. The NAM urged reform of the Electoral College to reduce power concentration in the largest states.
