Dec 21, 2024, 05:19 AM
The U.S. Senate has passed the Social Security Fairness Act, a bipartisan measure aimed at restoring benefits for nearly 3 million public servants, including teachers, firefighters, and law enforcement officers. The legislation, which received a vote of 76-20, seeks to repeal provisions that have historically limited Social Security payouts for these workers. This act is expected to enhance Social Security payments for more than 2 million Americans, addressing a longstanding issue that has affected public sector employees for decades. The bill is now headed to President Biden's desk for approval, with lawmakers aiming to finalize it before the holiday break.
