In the closing hours of the 92nd
Congress, Social Security
Amendments were one of the
major things under con
sideration. Most of these
amendments had first passed the
House of Representatives last
year as a part of the bill H.R. 1.
But you may remember that H.R.
1 also contained the Ad
ministration’s controversial
welfare program when it passed
the House.
The Senate tied the bill up
debating the welfare provisions.
Therefore, we came down to the
last minute before HR. 1
received final consideration and
then only because the welfare
provisions were totally
eliminated from the legislation
Even without the welfare
sections, HR 1 was a major bill
because it expanded Social
Security and Medicare benefits
and increased payroll taxes to
pay for them Since there is sure
to be wide general interest in
some of these changes, I thought
this column should be used to
outline some of the major
provisions in the legislation

Widow’s and dependent
widower’s benefits were raised
from 82.5 percent to 100 percent
of the deceased spouse’s en
titlement. A widow whose
benefits start at age 65 or after
would receive 100 percent of her
deceased husband’s primary
insurance amount, or - if his
benefits began before age 65 - an
amount equal to the reduced
benefit he would have been
receiving if he were alive. Under
the bill, the benefit for a widow
who comes on the rolls between
60 and 65 would be reduced
proportionately to take account
of the longer period over which
the benefit would be paid
January, 1973 is the date when
this provision becomes effective
The bill permits earnings up to
$2lOO per year without a loss in
Social Security benefits. The
present earning limit is $l6BO
For earnings above $2lOO, a
reduction in benefits of $1 for
each $2 of earnings is included
which provides a greater work
