Social Security boosts capped at 5 to 10 percent
The Senate Finance Committee proposed a 5 percent increase for the minimum benefit and a 10 percent rise for others, affecting about three million of the 28 million monthly recipients. The minimum would shift from 70.40 to 74 dollars for singles and 133 to 141 for couples. The panel also kept 5 percent raises for some elderly beneficiaries and rejected several tax reform ideas, including higher taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals. A separate proposal would grant a tax credit up to 800 dollars for employers of welfare recipients.
