The Social Security Fairness Act, H.R. 82, presents a significant opportunity to right a long-standing injustice. This legislation seeks to fully repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), which have unfairly reduced the retirement benefits of dedicated public servants, including retired educators, police officers, firefighters and other public servants who have served our communities. H.R. 82 has overwhelming bipartisan support in the House with over 300 co-sponsors. As a result, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee will hold a hearing in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 to examine the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). The committee will discuss the intended purpose, shortcomings and alternatives to these policies. Please support H.R. 82.
