155 Lawmakers Push HR82 to Repeal Social Security Provisions Reducing Benefits for Public Servants
Sep 11, 2024, 08:44 PM
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), which reduce Social Security benefits for public servants such as police officers, firefighters, and teachers. The Social Security Fairness Act, also known as HR82, has garnered significant support, with 155 lawmakers signing a discharge petition to force a vote in the U.S. House. The petition aims to ensure that public servants receive the full benefits they have earned. Organizations like the Fraternal Order of Police (GLFOP) and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) back this effort. The regulation currently affects almost 3 million Americans, including many Nevadans. The petition is aimed at forcing Speaker Johnson to schedule a vote.
