Long Range Solvency Provisions

Description of Proposed Provision:
E3.7: Increase the taxable maximum by an additional 2 percent per year beginning in 2019 until taxable earnings equal 90 percent of covered earnings. Provide benefit credit for earnings up to the revised taxable maximum. Create a new bend point equal to the current-law taxable maximum with a 5 percent formula factor applying above the new bend point.
