“The legislation can now go to the Senate floor for a vote. If the bill passes, it goes to President Biden for his signature,” the group added.

The Committee said it supports the bill “because it removes an unfairness in the system by allowing teachers, firefighters, and police officers (among others) and their families to collect Social Security benefits. Our members and supporters have made it clear that they want the WEP & GPO repealed.”
Individuals who receive a pension based on work for federal, state or local government where Social Security taxes were not withheld may find their Social Security benefits reduced through these provisions.
“In enacting the WEP and GPO, Congress created a completely different set of inequities, slashing Social Security benefits for some even though their payroll contributions might be exactly the same as their fellow Americans whose work history was entirely within the Social Security system,” Richtman has argued.

“We oppose any amendments that may be offered to dilute this legislation or cut Social Security benefits in any way — including raising the retirement age,” the Committee added.
The group said it sent a letter Wednesday to “all 100 U.S. Senators opposing any effort to raise the retirement age. We believe that if Republicans are concerned about costs, they should support bringing more revenue into the system by demanding that high earners pay their fair share — not by cutting benefits.”
Thursday’s “vote puts us one step closer to the long-sought goal of restoring fairness to a system that has worked incredibly well for nearly 90 years to provide American workers with basic financial security,” according to Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.
