This bill increases specified benefits and taxes related to the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program and otherwise modifies the program.

Changes to benefits include

  • increasing the primary insurance amount for certain beneficiaries;
  • revising the method for calculating cost-of-living adjustments by using a price index that tracks the spending patterns of older consumers;
  • extending benefits through age 22 to full-time students who are eligible children of deceased, disabled, or retired workers;
  • establishing a new minimum benefit for certain lifetime low-earners; and
  • establishing an alternative benefit based on combined household benefits for widows or widowers in two-income households.

Changes to taxes include subjecting earnings in excess of $250,000 to Social Security taxes. No taxes shall be applied to earnings between the contribution base (the maximum amount subject to the Social Security payroll tax, set at $137,700 for 2020) and $250,000.

In addition, the bill preserves eligibility for Supplemental Security Income payments and other means-tested programs by limiting the amount of OASDI payments considered in eligibility determinations.
