COMMITTEE REPORT

January 30, 1991

H. 3047

Introduced by REPS. P. Harris and Waldrop

S. Printed 1/30/91--H.

Read the first time January 8, 1991.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO MEMORIALIZE CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO ABOLISH THE SOCIAL SECURITY EARNINGS LIMITATION.

Whereas, many of our nation's healthy and capable senior citizens are not a part of the country's labor force because to remain active and contributing members of society would penalize their Social Security benefits; and

Whereas, a desire to rejoin the work force is not rewarded but punished at a time when an able-bodied individual could remain active and less dependent on government; and

Whereas, the unfairness of a drastic reduction in Social Security benefits due to a modest amount of earned income must be addressed and corrected by abolishing the earnings penalty. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That Congress and the President of the United States are memorialized to abolish the Social Security earnings limitation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.
