Automatic 20 Percent Social Security Increase Begins
Beckley Social Security manager Dwight Billings said all beneficiaries on the rolls in September will receive the 20 percent boost automatically, effective with September payments. Average retires and family benefits rise, and the law also allows automatic future increases with the cost of living. The contribution base rises to $10,000 in 1973 and $12,000 in 1974, with higher earnings counted toward larger future benefits.
