"The Strengthening Social Security Act of 2013 (S. 567)"

 raise the monthly Social Security benefit by about $65

measure inflation not with the chained CPI (a benefit cut),
but using a more accurate measure of inflation for seniors (the CPI-E).

The CPI-E would increase COLAs.

 eliminate the Social Security tax cap

 Under this bill, Social Security would be able to pay out full benefits to the year 2049.
