Senate Passes Social Security Fairness Act 76-20, Boosting Benefits for 2 Million Public Service Retirees, Sent to Biden
Dec 21, 2024, 05:31 AM
The U.S. Senate has passed the Social Security Fairness Act, a bipartisan measure aimed at increasing Social Security benefits for more than 2 million public service retirees. The legislation, which received a vote of 76-20, seeks to repeal provisions that have historically limited benefits for individuals such as teachers, police officers, and firefighters who have also received government pensions. This marks a significant step towards restoring the benefits these workers have earned throughout their careers. The bill now heads to President Biden for his signature, with expectations that it will be enacted before the holiday recess. Advocates have emphasized that this act corrects a long-standing inequity in the Social Security system, ensuring that public servants receive the full retirement benefits they deserve.
