Summary

The combined February–March 1977 Beaver Beacon republished a Petoskey Social Security office notice stating that the maximum taxable earnings limit would rise to $16,500 in 1977 while the employee, employer, and self-employed tax rates remained unchanged.

Evidence and limits

This is a public-service notice reproduced by the newspaper, not a local Social Security administrative record or substitute for the agency’s official rules.
