Why Your Social Security Jumped Wage earners and others who found that their OASI (Social Security) Se-curity) tax rate was boosted from 2b to 3 on the first of the year may be shocked to learn that these payments are not for their own retirement, re-tirement, but rather to meet the current obligations to those already al-ready receiving benefits. This was disclosed in a report released by Utah Foundation, the private governmental research organization. or-ganization. The Foundation study notes that no reserves are being accumulated from present Social Security (OASI) taxes on the covered working farce which would help meet the cost of future benefits. On the contrary, total current collections from all present workers and their employers employ-ers during the past few years have not even been sufficient to pay present pre-sent benefits to those already retired re-tired cr otherwise eligible for Social So-cial Security benefits.
