🚨Today, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on reforms to WEP & GPO — like our Social Security Fairness Act. I urge the Committee to build upon this momentum and send our bipartisan bill to the U.S. House floor for a vote. We must eliminate the WEP & GPO.
@RepSpanberger From what I have read about the hearing, it seems that there was more negative input than positive, and the reaction is very bitter. People struggling with these provisions feel that they have been played terribly. Can you share your thoughts?
@RepSpanberger @brigidmodonnell As a teacher who entered the career later in life, I agree. I will never have a large pension, am ineligible for my full Social Security benefits AND can only collect a portion of my husband’s SS if anything happens to him. All because I became a teacher.
