H.R.235 - Repeal the Government Pension Offset (GPO) provision
2,548 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.

It is so difficult to believe a country of this means goes out of its way to create different classes of people---particularly those who work and contribute. I may be wrong but I'd guess Congree don't have similar rules. Hell, they get to do insider trading legally. Come on!
This law is just SO unfair to workers that contributed to social security, then received a small pension as well. How about repealing it for low income recipients? It unfairly penalizes women particularly who had low paying jobs but worked all their lives. Also, the penalty applies if a person is applying through her husband's social security. This is just NUTS.............
Please repeal this unjust law. I only want what I earned and I earned my Social Security, The fact that I am also going to receive a small public pension is irrelevant.
This shouldn't be!!!
so unfair!
This is sooo unfair!
I just received the letter that the social security my deceased husband paid for over 46 years plus my quarters I paid will all be gone. That's a 34.5% reduction overnight. I didn't even know about GPO or WEP and now I'm left wondering how to pay the bills.
