2022 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Social Security


Doug Burgum: Permanently eliminated state income tax on Social Security

We approved an estimated $211 million in income tax credits, allowing approximately half of North Dakotans get to keep their hard earned money. The people that were working during the pandemic were the people that have income tax to pay, they get to keep their money in their pocket. We also have permanently eliminated the state income tax on Social Security income, saving our seniors nearly $15 million over the next two years.

Larry Hogan: Time to finally pass the Retirement Tax Elimination Act

Our state's sky-high retirement taxes remain the one area where we are still not effectively competing with other states. The time has come for the General Assembly to finally pass the Retirement Tax Elimination Act to eliminate every single penny of state retirement taxes for everyone, so that Marylanders who have spent their lives working and raising a family here, and contributing so much to our state, can afford to retire here in Maryland near their kids and grandkids.

Michelle Lujan-Grisham: Eliminate taxation of Social Security benefits

I feel the same way about the taxes that are taken out of social security benefits. New Mexico is one of only a few states that taxes social security. I am calling today for that taxation to end. We must unburden the New Mexicans who rely on social security benefits by cutting their taxes. This is good government, serving the people who have asked us to serve them. New Mexicans deserve it.
