Proposed Provision: Eliminate the taxable maximum in years 2026 and later. Phase in elimination by taxing all earnings above the current-law taxable maximum at: 1.24 percent in 2017, 2.48 percent in 2018, and so on, up to 11.16 percent in 2025. Provide benefit credit for earnings above the current-law taxable maximum. Create a new bend point at the current-law taxable maximum with a 3 percent formula factor applying above the new bend point.
