Congress to Vote on Bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act with 218 Signatures
Sep 19, 2024, 06:54 PM
A bipartisan effort in Congress has successfully garnered enough support to force a vote on the Social Security Fairness Act. The discharge petition, which has reached 218 signatures, aims to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions have significantly reduced Social Security benefits for millions of public servants, including police officers, firefighters, and federal employees. The act, which has 327 cosponsors, seeks to ensure that all Americans receive the Social Security benefits they have earned through years of service and sacrifice. Currently, 5 million Americans are receiving poverty-level checks from the government.
