On Tuesday, the U.S. House passed H.R. 82 – The Social Security Fairness Act with a bipartisan vote of 327 to 75. H.R. 82 repeals the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) of the Social Security Act, which cut Social Security benefits for millions of public-service retirees and spouses.
The next step is to get this into the Senate for a vote and passage. Watch the NewsFlash in the coming weeks for a Call-to-Action regarding this bill.
