Where do I find Social Security Covered Compensation Taxable Wage Base

[Guest]

Any of the Pension Services (CCH, RIA) should have the historical tables if you wanted to dig a bit, or you may try Social Security's Web site. ssa.gov

I am looking for the covered compensation tables for years in which the employee retired before 1999? I was wondering if there was a link to a web site that would have all or at least most of the tables? If anyone could help I would be greatful.

I believe this may be what you're looking for (at the SSA site): Tax Rate Table & Maximum Taxable Earnings.

Greg, what caused the wage base to go down from $76,600 in 1999 to $76,200 in 2000?

The SS wage base has never gone down. I believe the wage base in 1999 was 72,600 and the wage base for 2000 is 76,200.

Thanks Pax, I mis-read the column.

"Covered Compensation" has a particular meaning for pension plans that recognize social security through the use of integration or permitted disparity. Is this the meaning the question referred to?
