Repeal WEP/GPO, support public sector retiree benefits
To: Pres. Biden
From: A constituent in Cincinnati, OH
November 13, 2024
This legislation aims to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), ensuring that public sector retirees receive their full earned Social Security benefits. These outdated policies unfairly reduce or eliminate Social Security payments for millions of Americans who dedicated their careers to public service, including teachers, police officers, and firefighters. By supporting H.R. 82, you can correct this injustice and provide financial security for those who have diligently contributed to our communities. This is a matter of fairness and keeping promises made through the Social Security system. I urge you to vote YES on this bill and pass the legislation in the Senate.
