Please cosponsor S597 the social security fairness act today!! The WEP and GPO targets veterans, police, firefighters, educators, nurses, postal workers, VA doctors, and many other civil servants. The WEP and GPO unfairly reduce or deny Social Security benefits for hardworking Americans who have also earned a pension from an uncovered position, despite having dutifully paid the same FICA taxes as all workers.

H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, passed on November 12, 2024. It captured impressive bipartisan support, with 327 Members voting to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). Retired veterans, first responders, teachers and other public servants who also worked in the private sector and paid into the Social Security system have suffered long enough with their SS benefits reduced by as much as 2/3 (due to WEP) and spousal benefits often eliminated (due to GPO). Now it's time to get S. 597, the companion bill to H.R. 82, to the Senator floor for a vote! Stand with our public servants!

Senator Schmitt. Companion bill H.R. 82 has made it to the Senate, and we await its consideration! You can make a difference, and we look forward to your "yea" vote very soon! As a good faith measure, please cosponsor S. 597 to demonstrate your concern for retired public servants and Americans abroad. It's time to end the 40+ year history of the WEP and GPO, which reduce and often deny the Social Security benefits of our proud public service workers.
