Medicare Social Security bill would raise benefits and liberalize rules
The House approved a Social Security measure last year that stalled in the 88th Congress. It would grant a 7 percent retroactive boost to about 20 million beneficiaries financed by higher payroll taxes, the first cash rise since 1958. The bill would raise the earnings test, broaden survivor and child benefits, allow widows to retire at 60, and include tipped income in pension calculations while offering an exemption from taxes for Amish and other sects.
