Reagan plan keeps cost of living rise for retirees
The administration confirms no change to the automatic cost of living increase for 36 million Social Security beneficiaries with an 11.2 percent raise in July. A three month delay shifts the 9.3 percent July 1982 increase to October 1982, costing about 3.3 billion dollars in 1982 and 3 billion more by 1986. Reagan also pledges to liberalize the earnings test, aiming to remove all work restrictions for the elderly by 1986. Currently, those 72 and older have no earnings limit, and in 1982 those 70 and older will be free to earn without losing benefits.
