House Approves Social Security Fairness Act, Increasing Benefits for Over 2 Million Public Servants
Nov 13, 2024, 12:05 AM
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), a bipartisan bill aimed at repealing the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions currently reduce Social Security benefits for public servants, including teachers, firefighters, police officers, postal workers, and other government employees. By eliminating WEP and GPO, the act ensures that these workers receive the full Social Security benefits they have earned, without being penalized for their service. The bill is expected to increase benefits by over $350 per month for more than 2 million public servants and their spouses. The passage of the bill reflects a commitment to protect the retirement security of millions of Americans who have dedicated their careers to public service. The legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration.
