Proposed Provision: Apply OASDI payroll tax rate on earnings above $400,000 starting in 2015, and tax all earnings once the current-law taxable maximum exceeds $400,000. Credit the additional earnings for benefit purposes by: (a) calculating a second average indexed monthly earnings (AIME+) reflecting only earnings taxed above the current law taxable maximum, (b) applying a 2 percent factor on this newly computed AIME+ to develop a second component of the PIA, and (c) adding this second component to the current-law PIA.
