Congress approved a 165 billion package raising taxes and delaying benefits to preserve Social Security for decades. The Senate passed 58 to 14 at 2 a.m. EST after Easter break, and the House approved 243 to 102. The bill raises payroll taxes this decade, raises the retirement age to 66 by 2009 and 67 by 2027, and imposes new rules for federal workers and top officials. It aims to extend solvency at least 75 years and incentivize later retirement while safeguarding benefits for current recipients.
