Congress expands Social Security earnings cap for aged workers
Lawmakers approve a bill to raise the 65 to 69 earnings limit from 10 200 to 20 000 over five years allowing more retirees to work without benefit cuts. The measure also boosts benefits for widows and widowers over 80 and seeks to broaden elderly work incentives amid White House opposition to broader reform. Critics call it budget busting election year pandering while supporters say it eases elder hardship and recaptures tax revenue by bringing seniors back to work.
