This bill is a much-needed step towards ensuring fairness and equity for public servants who have dedicated their careers to serving society. Public employees contribute to Social Security throughout their working lives, yet the current system unfairly reduces or eliminates their earned benefits due to provisions like the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination. These public servants deserve to receive their full Social Security benefits without penalty, just like those in the private sector. Repealing these outdated and unjust policies will uphold the promises made to our nation's civil servants and recognize the immense value of their public service. This legislation corrects an unjust system that has penalized those who choose to work for the greater good. Passing this bill is a matter of restoring fairness and properly honoring the vital contributions of public employees to our communities.
