Description of Proposed Provision:
E3.19: Increase the taxable maximum such that 90 percent of earnings would be subject to the payroll tax (phased in linearly from 2019-2024). Provide benefit credit for additional earnings taxed, using a secondary PIA formula. This secondary PIA formula involves: (1) an "AIME+" derived from additional annual earnings taxed over the current-law taxable maximum; and (2) a formula factor of 2.5 percent on this newly computed "AIME+".
