The U.S. Senate has passed the Social Security Fairness Act, a bipartisan bill poised to boost benefits for millions of public sector workers, including teachers, firefighters, and police officers. If signed into law by President Biden, the legislation will eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), which have historically penalized public employees in their retirement benefits. Supporters praise the bill as a crucial step towards economic justice for those who have dedicated their careers to public service. Despite some opposition from a faction of GOP senators, the bill cleared significant procedural hurdles and is now on the path to final passage. Key groups have lauded this measure as a much-needed reform that will restore fairness to Social Security benefits.
