News & information
The Senate is back in session and time is running out to pass the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82) before they are scheduled to leave on Dec. 20 for the holiday recess.
Last month, the House voted overwhelmingly to pass H.R. 82. We must build on this momentum and urge the Senate to bring the bill to the floor before the end of the year.

More on the Social Security Fairness Act
H.R. 82 would repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which are parts of Social Security law that unfairly reduce or sometimes eliminate Social Security benefits of federal annuitants, including letter carriers.
