On November 12, we witnessed a historic moment with the Social Security Fairness Act, H.R. 82, to repeal the windfall elimination provision (WEP) and the government pension offset (GPO), passing the House with overwhelming majority 327-75. Now it is time to ramp up efforts and push for the bill to be brought to the Senate floor to help us get one step closer in achieving WEP/GPO repeal!
We urge all members to contact their senators to urge Senate leadership to bring H.R. 82/S. 597 for a floor vote. With H.R. 82 being passed, and few legislative days left in the session, it’s crucial to get Senate action on H.R. 82/S. 597. The momentum for repealing WEP and GPO is strong. It’s essential that we keep our advocacy strong in working towards getting WEP/GPO repeal passed prior to the end of year!
