Friday, 6 December 2024, 23:00
Critical Legislative Push for Social Security Fairness Act
The Social Security Fairness Act, recently passed by the House, has garnered unusual bipartisan support. As momentum builds, the urgency intensifies for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to schedule a vote before the opportunity vanishes. This legislation is crucial for approximately 2.8 million retirees who stand to benefit.
Key Provisions of the Bill
- Elimination of benefits cuts for retirees receiving pensions from jobs not covered by Social Security
- Acknowledgment of state and federal workers like teachers and police officers
- Protections for surviving spouses and family members to receive full benefits
With each passing day, prospects for enactment diminish. The push for immediate action must not be overlooked.
