Please call or write your Senators today to help pass The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82) [View all]

The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), will repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO).
This bi-partisan measure has already passed the House.

Passed House (11/12/2024)

Social Security Fairness Act of 2023

This bill repeals provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who receive other benefits, such as a pension from a state or local government.

The bill eliminates the government pension offset, which in various instances reduces Social Security benefits for spouses, widows, and widowers who also receive government pensions of their own.

The bill also eliminates the windfall elimination provision, which in some instances reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes.
