Book Description
This paper examines changes in the distribution of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) benefits (the primary Social Security program) resulting from various widely discussed Social Security reform alternatives. It focuses on five alternatives: Current-law benefits; gradually reducing benefits; increasing the normal retirement age; adopting progressive price indexing, which would affect upper-income beneficiaries more than lower-income ones; and a combination of raising the retirement age and progressive price indexing. This analysis focuses on Americans born in specific years (cohorts) whose OASI benefits commence at age 62 or older and who have not received any other Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) benefits before that age.The PDF for the above title, published in the April 2006 issue of EBRI Notes, also contains the full text of another April 2006 EBRI Notes article abstracted on SSRN: Tax Expenditures and Employee Benefits: Estimates From the FY 2007 Budget.

Book Description
A previous EBRI Notes (April 2006) examined the impact of various Social Security reform alternatives on the percentage of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) beneficiaries below specific thresholds of poverty. This paper builds upon that study by determining the change in the distribution of the benefit levels these beneficiaries would receive under the same alternatives. In addition, it calculates for each beneficiary the amount of savings that would need to be accumulated in order to purchase a payout annuity (an insurance product that provides a regular stream of income for life) that would compensate for the decrease in benefits from these alternatives relative to current-law benefits. Given the importance of Social Security to those age 65 or older, any changes made to Social Security that reduce benefits will have a tremendous impact on retirees' incomes. This study captures the effect on Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) benefits across all Americans born in specific years (cohorts) whose OASI benefits commence at age 62 or older and who have not received any other Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) benefits before that age from various widely discussed Social Security reform alternatives.

Book Description
A Challenge to Social Security: The Changing Roles of Women and Men in American Society is a collection of papers that deals with social security reform. The papers concern insurance and pure income transfer aspects of various proposals and the assumptions regarding the family and work behavior found in each proposal. The proposed reforms attempt to fix the shortcomings of the Old Age, Survivors Insurance (OASI) Program, sometimes at the expense of reducing the subsidy for women who remain at home, or through alterations of the subsidy's nature. Other papers discuss the current spouse benefits under the dual entitlement rule; homemaker credits; child-care drop-out years; and one going against the grain, earnings sharing. One paper sees earning sharing as the only way to provide security to the homemaker without being unfair to the working wife. Other papers tackle the issues of women and a two-tier social security system; the double-decker alternative to eliminate dependency under social security; and the social security reform from a feminist's perspective. This collection can prove useful for economists, sociologists, political scientists, and policy makers involved in welfare and social security.

Book Description
This volume represents the most important work to date on one of the pressing policy issues of the moment: the privatization of social security. Although social security is facing enormous fiscal pressure in the face of an aging population, there has been relatively little published on the fundamentals of essential reform through privatization. Privatizing Social Security fills this void by studying the methods and problems involved in shifting from the current system to one based on mandatory saving in individual accounts. "Timely and important. . . . [Privatizing Social Security] presents a forceful case for a radical shift from the existing unfunded, pay-as-you-go single national program to a mandatory funded program with individual savings accounts. . . . An extensive analysis of how a privatized plan would work in the United States is supplemented with the experiences of five other countries that have privatized plans." —Library Journal "[A] high-powered collection of essays by top experts in the field."—Timothy Taylor, Public Interest

Book Description
Social security is the largest and perhaps the most popular program run by the federal government. Given the projected increase in both individual life expectancy and sheer number of retirees, however, the current system faces an eventual overload. Alternative proposals have emerged, ranging from reductions in future benefits to a rise in taxrevenue to various forms of investment-based personal retirement accounts. As this volume suggests, the distributional consequences of these proposals are substantially different and may disproportionately affect those groups who depend on social security to avoid poverty in old age. Together, these studies persuasively show that appropriately designed investment-based social security reforms can effectively reduce the long-term burden of an aging society on future taxpayers, increase the expected future income of retirees, and mitigate poverty rates among the elderly.
