The "You Earned It, You Keep It Act" repeals the inclusion of Social Security benefits in gross income for tax purposes, ensuring beneficiaries receive their full benefits without federal income tax implications. To offset this change, the bill modifies how Social Security taxes are calculated by applying them to wages and self-employment income above $250,000, affecting high-income earners. It also adjusts the Social Security benefit formula to include a portion of earnings above this threshold in benefit calculations. These changes aim to strengthen Social Security funding while ensuring current beneficiaries under other assistance programs are not negatively impacted.
