WEP/GPO Update

WEP/GPO Update

On Friday, July 29, 2022 The Senior Citizens League participated in a Press Conference with Representatives Abigail Spanberger and Rodney Davis to show support for H.R. 82 The Social Security Fairness Act.

This bipartisan legislation would eliminate two provisions of the Social Security Act — the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) — that unfairly reduce or eliminate Social Security benefits for millions of Americans who have devoted much of their careers to public service. Under House rules, the bill must be brought forward for consideration now that it has surpassed 290 cosponsors. We are pushing for a vote on the floor of the U.S. House.
