Senate panel votes to restore minimum Social Security benefit
The Senate Finance Committee unanimously moves to restore the $122 monthly minimum Social Security payment for about two million beneficiaries. The plan would offset $1 from the minimum for roughly 350,000 retired workers with pensions over $300, and fund the restoration at an estimated $5.3 billion over five years.

VA to deny nonemergency free care to some veterans
The Veterans Administration plans to require proof of inability to pay for medical care, ending free treatment for many veterans by year end. Under the rule, only those with income under 15,000 dollars or spendable income above necessity but below care cost will receive VA services. Officials warn most older veterans will remain eligible, but about 20,000 hospitalizations may be denied and up to 100,000 outpatients could be affected. The policy faces public comment and possible legislative changes.

Hair Transplants Declared Tax Deductible Medical Expenses
U S Tax Court rules that hair transplant operations are deductible medical expenses even when performed for cosmetic reasons. Judge Wilbur notes both hair transplants and facelifts affect body structure and require medical expertise, aligning deductibility with medical treatment rather than cosmetic motive. William W. Mattes Jr. of Bel Air, Md., topically pursued a deduction for 1976 expenses. The decision follows IRS prior allowances for wigs and facelifts, signaling broader deductibility for cosmetic procedures tied to a medical condition.
