✍️ UPDATE: @POTUS will sign my
Social Security Fairness Act on Sunday, January 5 (tomorrow).
This is a victory for millions of Americans— police officers, firefighters, teachers, and federal employees — who for decades have been denied the retirement benefits they earned.
Everyone is so excited for HR 82 to become the law of the land, the president has moved up signing to January 5th at 3pm Central. #SocialSecurityFairnessAct
Did I just hear @POTUS & @FLOTUS are on vacation again? Was #HR82 SIGNED? As a former educator she knows how this affects 2+ million retirees, she should have it signed asap upon their return.
76-20, Senate passed #HR82; A bill to amend title II of the Social Security Act to repeal the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions. Rollcall Vote #338 https://t.co/7iScGvjuI5
Tonight, the Senate finally corrects a fifty-year mistake by passing the Social Security Fairness Act.
Millions of retired teachers and firefighters and letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment.
No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed from them, thanks to this bill.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urges the U.S. Senate to pass H.R. 82 on the Senate floor on Dec 20. Potential floor vote is expected today. @KALBtv5#SocialSecurityFairnessAct
Police officers, firefighters, and federal employees have been denied earned benefits for more than 40 years — even though they paid into the system just like others.
Now, the Senate has the opportunity to pass my #SocialSecurityFairnessAct and end this theft.
w/ @adamlongoTV:
The Senate will vote today on expanding Social Security payments for millions of Americans.
The Social Security Fairness Act would expand benefits for nearly 3 million retired teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants. @eschulze reports.
