House Passes Bill to Repeal WEP and GPO, Boosting Social Security Benefits
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), which aims to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, considered unfair by many. Congressman Clay Higgins, who has championed the bill for seven years, played a key role in advancing the legislation by signing a discharge petition to force a vote. Higgins urges the Senate to pass the bill to benefit all Americans.
