Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title II of the Social Security Act to repeal the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions.
AI Summary
This bill, the Social Security Fairness Act, proposes to repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) from the Social Security Act. The GPO reduces the Social Security benefits of individuals who receive a government pension, while the WEP reduces the Social Security benefits of individuals who have earnings not covered by Social Security. The bill would eliminate these provisions, allowing affected individuals to receive their full Social Security benefits. The amendments made by this bill would apply to monthly insurance benefits payable under Title II of the Social Security Act starting in January 2024.
