Major House bill outlines social security and welfare reforms
Aimed at expanding benefits and tightening taxes, the measure raises the Social Security across the board by five percent effective June 1972 and auto adjusts benefits with cost of living increases. It also raises the payroll tax base to 10,200 and gradually lifts tax rates to 7.4 percent by 1987. The bill creates an income floor, replaces state aid for families with a federal program, extends Medicare to the disabled after two years, and expands Medicaid while introducing work requirements and child care development. It also consolidates aged, blind, and disabled programs under federal finance and increases penalties for fraud and noncompliance.
