Carter seeks limited tax funds to rescue Social Security
President Carter urged Congress to provide carefully limited income tax funds to shore up Social Security after a White House forecast that reserves could deplete in the early 1980s. The plan would broaden employer coverage, tie general revenue support to unemployment, and accelerate already scheduled tax increases to lift the wage base and bolster benefits for 34 million beneficiaries. A separate computer error reportedly redirected checks to wrong addresses, affecting about 150,000 elderly disabled recipients, with officials urging affected individuals to notify Social Security.
