Social Security is the healthiest part of our retirement security system, and protecting and improving Social Security benefits is the best solution. This was the consensus of working families’ advocates and members of Congress at a conference held yesterday by Social Security Works and a coalition of organizations. Among the key proposals suggested by representatives and senators were increasing the monthly Social Security benefits and eliminating the cap on the amount of income people pay Social Security taxes on (currently set at $113,700).
