(1) Many older Americans remain in the work force after they reach age 65,
or would like to do so;
(2) Under current law, the benefits of Social Security recipients are
reduced by $1 for every $3 earned in excess of $10,200;
(3) This provision of current law penalizes these recipients and reduces
their incentive to work;
(4) This penalty and disincentive should be eased as quickly as possible;
(5) The Senate approved, by a vote of 94-3 on April 7th of this year,
an amendment to the Budget Resolution, whose purpose was to limit the
levels of Social Security outlays and revenues assumed in the Resolution
to current services levels; and
(6) Such limitation would ensure that, any new legislation will not reduce
the levels of Social Security reserves, thereby endangering the payment
of Social Security benefits to elderly and disabled beneficiaries.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE- It is the sense of the Senate that the Social
Security earnings test be eased in a manner which does not reduce the
levels of Social Security Trust Fund reserves.
