Outlook Bright For Social Security Bill
The House shifts from income taxes to boosted Social Security benefits and higher taxes as President Johnson seeks broader coverage. The bill would raise benefits for 22 million current and future recipients, raise the taxable base from 6600 to 7600, and add stricter Medicaid rules while expanding job training and welfare emphasis. The typical retired couple would see about a 15 percent rise, with minimum payments increasing from 40 to 50 dollars monthly. The measure advances without amendments in the House and faces Senate revision.
