A bipartisan bill aimed at expanding Social Security benefits for workers who also qualify for other pensions has gained traction in Congress. The proposed legislation seeks to eliminate a provision that currently reduces Social Security payments for retirees who receive pensions from jobs not covered by the retirement program. Recently, the House passed this legislation, which would provide full Social Security benefits to millions of individuals, moving it closer to becoming law. This initiative has been described as decades in the making and reflects a significant shift in policy regarding Social Security benefits.
