Provisions Affecting Coverage of Employment or Earnings |
|
|
These provisions extend or reduce the categories of workers or the amount of earnings covered under the Social Security system. We provide a summary list of all options in this category. For each provision listed below, we provide an estimate of the financial effect on the OASDI program over the long-range period (the next 75 years) and for the 75th year. In addition, we provide graphs and detailed single year tables. All estimates are based on the intermediate assumptions described in the 2010 Trustees Report. Choose the type of estimates (summary or detailed) from the list of provisions. |
| Number | Table and graph selection |

| F2 | Provide for OASDI payroll tax coverage of employer provided
group health insurance cost, starting in 2012. Specifically,
any cost toward such group health insurance borne by employees
would cease to be deductible, and the cost borne by employers
would now be allocated to employees as if it had been wages,
for the purpose of payroll tax (and later, benefit) calculations.
Both employee and employer OASDI payroll taxes would be affected
by this proposal.

| F3 | Phase out the income and payroll tax exclusion for employer-sponsored
group health insurance (ESI) beginning in 2018. Set the exclusion
at the 75th percentile of premium distribution in 2018, with amounts
above that subject to tax. Reduce the exclusion level by 10 percent
annually, with exclusion fully eliminated in 2028. Eliminate the
excise tax on ESI.
