Long Range Solvency Provisions

Description of Proposed Provision:
E3.16: Beginning in 2025, apply 4 percent payroll tax rate on earnings above the wage-indexed equivalent of $400,000 in 2015 (about $589,500 in 2025), with the threshold wage-indexed after 2025. Provide benefit credit for additional earnings taxed, using a secondary PIA formula. This secondary PIA formula involves: (1) an "AIME+" derived from annual earnings taxed only between 2015 wage-indexed equivalents of $400,000 and $500,000, or about $589,500 and $736,800 in 2025 (with thresholds wage-indexed after 2025); and (2) a formula factor of 2 percent on this newly computed "AIME+".
