HR 82: Social Security Fairness Act
Hi all—if you’re concerned about your social security when you retire, you might want to check this out. I understand this has bipartisan support, so if you’re so inclined, you can learn more and then follow the links below. Have a great weekend, Mark
For years there has been an effort to eliminate the so-called “windfall elimination provision” and “government pension offset” laws (WEP/GPO).
Both of them penalize faculty who have worked in other positions before working at the college and contributed to Social Security through their previous employment.
The law hurts all of us, but is specifically hurtful to our part time faculty.
Currently, congress is considering H.R.82 – Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 to end these unjust reductions in our retirement benefits and FACCC is helping with an Action link which I have highlighted below.
It is super fast and easy to use.
