IFPTE Requests Congressional Support for Passage of Social Security Fairness Act, Which Restores Social Security Benefits to Millions of Federal and Public Sector Workers
This week, IFPTE sent a letter to all Members of the House of Representatives requesting additional cosponsors for H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, and asking Representatives to urge House leadership to advance and pass the bill. This legislation, which already has strong bipartisan support in the House, would repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and therefore restore Social Security benefits of nearly two million public sector workers or their surviving spouses and dependents.
