Congress is working to ease
earning limit on Social Security
By Carl Hulse
New York Times Regional Newspapers
WASHINGTON - Congress ap
pears ready this year to ease some
Social Security restrictions that have
forced thousands of senior citizens to
retire before they were ready to stop
working.
Influential lawmakers in both the
House and Senate have moved to re
lax or even eliminate the Social Secu
rity earnings test, which restricts how
much those age 62 to 70 can earn and
still collect full benefits.
Senior interest groups have long
complained that the earnings limit
drives many older Americans from
the workplace into premature retire
ment, costing the nation a wealth of
experienced labor and leaving some
of those retirees frustrated and bored.
“We can’t afford to keep healthy,
vigorous, hard-working older Ameri
cans out of the American work force,”
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Tex., said in
proposing a plan to revise the income
test. “It is like keeping your best hit
ters on the bench.”

The Social Security Administration
estimates that each year about 750,000
people age 65 and over sacrifice some
benefits to keep working while anoth
er 140,000 don’t even claim benefits
because they believe their income is
too high. And those figures don’t count
those who decide to give up their jobs
rather than lose any retirement
income.
Both the House and Senate are
headed toward raising the income
threshold at which benefits begin to be
reduced, an amount set at SB,BBO this
year and scheduled to rise to $9,360
next year. After workers 65 and over
hit that level in 1990, benefits will be
reduced by $1 for every $3 earned.
A Bentsen amendment adopted
unanimously by the Senate as part of
a pending child-care bill would in
crease the 1990 threshold by $1,200 to
$10,560. And for the next $5,000 in
earnings, benefits would drop by $1
for every $4 earned instead of the $3 in
present law.
A proposal adopted by the House
Ways and Means Committee would in
crease the threshold by slightly less to
$9,720 in 1990 and $10,440 the next
year. But there are also popular bills
circulating that would eliminate the
earnings test altogether.
“It is an issue receiving an enor
mous amount of congressional atten
tion right now and we are interested to
see how it plays out,” said Frank C.
Battistelli, a spokesman for the Social
Security Administration.
