2024 IN Governor's race: on Social Security


Curtis Hill: Eliminate the state income tax on retirement benefits

Like younger workers, seniors are also fleeing Indiana at historic rates. We can combat this by eliminating the state income tax on retirement benefits income for seniors over the age of 65. This will encourage seniors to remain in Indiana and encourage seniors in neighboring, high-taxed states like Illinois to move to the state. I am also proposing a flat sales tax rate of 3% for residents over the age of 65 to assist with their transition into retirement.

Jennifer McCormick: Important retirees have the fiscal means to be successful

McCormick: It's incredibly important that our retirees have the fiscal means to be successful. Also, it's unfortunate that 48% of our Hoosiers do not have access to a pension or a private plan. As your governor, I will make sure we can change that. We can start programs such as the work and save programs to make sure that our retirees have what they need. It's also incredibly important that you have the revenue and access to revenue and securities in order to be successful.
