Which raised the cap and also for those born after 1938 full retirement was raised to 67. The Ss fund was expected to dry up in 2012 and as we see there is money available for a few more years. We survived the last reform and think it could be survivable again in order to have future funds.

If you double the cap, would you also double the benefits paid? otis50 Jan 2015 #3
