Support HR235 and S. 484 - Pass the Social Security Fairness Act
1,028 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
We, as Law Enforcement Officers across the country, strongly urge Congress to support HR 235 and S. 484 - Social Security Fairness Act. Passage of this Act will end the very unfair practice of penalizing us up to 40% of our rightfully earned Social Security benefits.

I worked for 20 years paying in SS. then went back to school to get a teaching degree In Special Education. I will retire from teaching in 4 years at age 62 with 19 years of service and will get teacher retriement of $1500.00 a month (I work in Missouri). I checked with the SS office and because of WEP I will get $0.00 SS. This makes me SICK to my stomach. I will be paying on student loans over $1000.00 a month for several years. I was hoping SS would cover part of my student loan payments. Why doesn't Congress understand this situation and DO something about it. I paid MY money indo SS that I earned working below min. wage, min. wage, and barely above min. wage jobs for 20 years. PLAEASE repeal this law!
Worked 25 years for Federal Government, took reduced pension, working in SS covered job paying lots for 13 years and can't collect. Then let me keep that money to pay for my expensive health insurance premiums and medicines. Please do the right thing and let me and others have what they earned and deserved or I will have to move in with you because I won't be able to live on my small pension.
I WORKED MANY YEARS BEFORE I WORKED FOR THE STATE OF LA.. I AM NOW PERMANENTLY DISABLED NOW,WITH THE SMALL INCOME I GET NOW , IT WOULD HELP ME GREATLY IF I COULD GET MY SOCIAL SECURITY WITHOUT BEING PENALIZED.
Totally unfair/illegal
A President that had
alsheimer desease signed this unfair law pushed on him by some very unfair legislatures that were undermining seniors that work for a state. Seems to me that the Ways & Means Committee could at least get it to Congress after the asking of the appeal for decades. I am a 70 year old senior that cannot retire due to the unfiar WEP law. I ask that the Committee due the job we have ask for and get this appeal through - for Gods Sakes!

We are crippling ourselves working due to this unfair cut in our Social Security and at the same time taking a job away from a younger person...so unfair - May the Life Giver strike those that see only themselves for profit and not help the elderly so much in need
UNFAIR !!!!
Worked 30 yrs in construction, due to economy had to switch careers. After investing in added education I now am ready to teach. Due to age I will only teach 10 yrs and now find out my SS is in jeopardy...HOW UNFAIR!!!! for dedicated people!!!!!!!
Worked half of my career and paid into Social Security. Teachers were needed so I changed career to teach. I only got to work 10 years as a teacher - not long enough to get a full retirement. Now I find that they want a large part of my Social Security benefits if I receive Teachers Retirement benefits. I am 67 and cannot afford to retire if my social security benefits are reduced. Please help.
You needed math teachers. Show you appreciate my 18 years, not punish me.
this is very unfair to we who serve and protect the general public
