President Kennedy urged Congress to adopt broad tax changes to spur modernization and curb unemployment. Proposals include incentives for business expansion, withholding on dividends and interest, repeal of stockholder benefits, tighter expense deductions, and ending special treatment for some multinational investments.

Social Security Work Requirements Updated by 1960 Amendments
A reader asks about retirement benefits eligibility. The 1960 amendments lowered the work requirement by about one third, allowing those reaching retirement age before 1982 to qualify with fewer years of work. Specific rules vary by age and year of birth, and widows with dependent children may now qualify despite prior ineligibility. Contact your local Social Security office for personal eligibility.
