‼️MAJOR SOCIAL SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT‼️

The Social Security Administration will immediately begin sending Social Security benefit increases and retroactive payments for those affected by WEP & GPO. Police officers, teachers, nurses, and other state and local public servants across Louisiana will finally receive the correct Social Security payments. These folks have waited years for this day. The fight took too long, but let’s focus on the victory.

The procedural maneuvers necessary to get H.R. 82 ready for a vote are underway. Please stay tuned as we are all working toward a hopeful vote as quickly as possible.
Please continue to keep up the pressure and believe that through our members, all things are still possible!

Tim Lee provided an update on where we stand with repealing the WEP and GPO: https://t.co/NOA7dpiPXt

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

A vote on the Social Security Fairness Act in the Senate still hasn't been scheduled... It is unfair to penalize Americans who have taught our children, protected our streets, and ran into burning buildings. It is time to repeal WEP & GPO!
