H.R.235 - Repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) provision
6,382 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
Bill H.R.235 has been introduced in Congress. Please support this bill to amend title II of the Social Security Act and repeal the Government Pension Offset(GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provisions (WEP). GPO and WEP unfairly, and only, penalize government employees whose social security pensions are reduced by two-thirds of their state pensions. This impacts teachers, police, firefighters, postal workers, civil servants, and state nurses.

WEP is completely discriminatory and difficult to understand how it ever became law.
This punishes some of our most valued members of society;teachers, firefighters
And other civil servants. Shameful and unjust!
And other civil servants. Shameful and unjust!
This is a thoroughly unjust and unfair tax. For anyone who moved to the US from another country, having worked there and paid his taxes. To then find out that after working for as much much as twenty years here can have half of their social security denied. It is cynical and attacks vulnerable population, especially the elderly.
Pleasr repeal the GPO. It's like I'm living in a third world country, I can barely keep a roof over my head. I collect a small government pension, but what has happened to all the money my deceased spouse contributed to Social Security?
I paid into it like everyone else...why must I be punished because I was a Police Officer?
PLEASE STOP TAKING MONEY SO WE CAN HAVE A DECENT RETIREMENT WE PAYED INTO THE SYSTEM REPEAL THESE TWO AWFUL LAWS PLEASE
SS Fairness to All ! Equal SS pension benefits must prevail. Our earned SS benefits and spousal benefits should be universally distributed. Repeal WEP and GOP NOW!!!
