Social Security benefits have risen 25 percent in three years and further increases are likely this year. Debates focus on 5, 10, or 20 percent boosts, with funding argued to come from higher payroll taxes. A 10 percent rise could cost workers about 520 dollars annually for those earning 10 000 or more, while a 20 percent rise could push the tax to roughly 624 dollars for those earning 12 000 or more.
