Tax experts advise a 'wait-and-see' approach to planning when it comes to Trump's campaign promise to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits.

Readers are concerned that his campaign proposals would put Social Security’s finances on thinner ice, endangering their payments.

Though President-elect Donald Trump has often promised to protect Social Security, he has not explained exactly how he would save the beloved – but financially troubled – entitlement program. Nor did he take any meaningful steps to shore up Social Security during his first term in the White House.

The House is expected to try to pass a Social Security-related bill this week to ensure benefits for workers who are also eligible for other pensions, despite a surprise move by hard-right Freedom Caucus leaders to derail the effort.

President-elect Donald Trump has had his eye on Social Security, but his latest proposal — to cut taxes on benefits — may not have the effect beneficiaries would want, experts said.

Trump has repeatedly said he won’t “cut one cent” from Social Security or raise the retirement age. The official Republican Party Platform adopted at the Republican National Convention echoed those promises but it’s less clear how Trump plans to shore up the program’s finances.

The House approved the bill and ultimately reversed the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset Provision.
