The Social Security Administration this week sent out an email to many Americans celebrating the passage of President Donald Trump’s domestic policy bill, and touting the measure’s tax relief for seniors, in a move that analysts said strayed from the agency’s typically apolitical nature.

The Social Security Administration has sent a misleading email to beneficiaries stating President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cuts and spending law eliminates taxes on Social Security benefits for most recipients.

The Social Security Administration says most won’t pay federal income taxes on their benefits. But Congress didn’t directly exempt those payments from taxes.
