The Social Security Fairness Act aims to repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which reduce Social Security benefits for many public sector retirees. These provisions have unfairly impacted individuals who dedicated their careers to public service. As a former state employee affected by these unfair reductions, I strongly support this legislation. Repealing the GPO and WEP will ensure equitable treatment of all American workers and prevent public servants from being penalized simply due to their occupation. I appreciate your cosponsorship of this important bill that upholds principles of fairness and adequately values the contributions of our public workforce. This long overdue reform will make a meaningful difference for countless retirees and their families.
