Social Security, Senior Security & Retirement
PROPOSED / DRAFT — SOCIAL SECURITY, SENIOR SECURITY & RETIREMENT
Full Social Security retirement is set at age 72 with 100 percent of the full earned benefit under the reformed system. Benefits already being paid are protected. Disability, survivor, and dependent benefits retain separate eligibility and must not be delayed by the full-retirement rule.
Social Security benefits should not be subject to federal, state, or local income tax.
Seniors should receive meaningful primary-home property-tax protection so that people are not forced from homes they own merely because property values and tax bills increased after retirement. Implementation should protect modest and middle-income primary residences while allowing states and local governments to design lawful programs and prevent abuse.
Every senior should have dependable access to medically necessary healthcare, prescriptions, preventive care, mental-health care, vision, hearing, dental care, rehabilitation, and appropriate long-term-care support without being forced into poverty. Medicare eligibility should not be delayed to age 72 or create a health-coverage gap.
Every county or regional service area should provide access to a qualified senior navigator or licensed social worker. Assistance should cover Social Security, Medicare and insurance, prescription programs, housing and property-tax relief, nutrition, transportation, in-home care, caregiver support, fraud and abuse reporting, veterans’ benefits, legal referrals, and benefit appeals.
Public programs should support safe independent living and aging at home when medically appropriate and preferred by the senior. Home modifications, transportation, respite care, visiting healthcare, meal delivery, and caregiver support should be compared fairly with institutional care.
Fiscal safeguards: reform must publish long-term solvency estimates, funding sources, distributional effects, administrative costs, and consequences for current and future beneficiaries.
Related policies: Healthcare; Taxes; Owner Rights; Personal Rights & Freedoms; Federal Budget and Government Performance provisions within Changes in Government.
