Social Security Amendment Aims to Expand Coverage
A 17 member advisory council urged Congress to expand Social Security by removing age and occupation barriers, increasing covered workers and benefits, and introducing higher wage credits and staged employer employee contributions. Proposals include extending benefits to self employed, farm workers, nonprofit staff, federal and state employees, armed forces, and island residents, with gradual government support if needed. It cites a widowed mother of eight as an example of current gaps and suggests retirement at 60 could be allowed under certain rules.
