There is a bill that is in the house to eliminte the WEP provision that is in effect for social security. The provision cuts the SSA benefits received by first responders and others who receive pensions. These recipients retired from a job where they were not required to pay into SSA, but took employmnet after that where they paid into SSA . Many of the recipients receive a set amount each month in their pension which never increases as in they get no cola in the pension. The bill has bipartisan support in the house and was due for vote week of 11/11/24 but has been tabled. The WEP is detrimental to seniors why can’t the WEP be repealed ? Repealing WEP give seniors more money for their needs .
Isn’t time to take better care of seniors especially in todays enomony ?

This needs to pass, too many seniors have lost money and it should be repayed. They earned their benefits and should have never been sanctioned over the yrs. Congress should look at repaying the money. It should have and probably was illegal from the start. Thank you President Trump for looking into this!!!
