Almost 3 million Americans, including firefighters, educators, sanitation workers, health providers, road crews, and countless other critical public employees, are subject to the devastating financial effects of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) laws.
Everyone deserves a secure retirement, especially those who devoted their career to public service.
The Social Security Fairness Act (S. 597/H.R. 82) fully repeals both the GPO and WEP.
H.R. 82 Passed the House on Tuesday evening, November 11, 2024. The vote count was 327 yes, 75 no. The act passed the House with 81% of the vote. All 6 of Kentucky’s Congressmen voted for H.R. 82; Congressmen Guthrie, Massie, Comer, Barr, Rogers, and McGarvey.
Our attention now turns to the Senate for passage.
