Social Security Fairness Act of 2023: Repealing Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provisions
H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to repeal two provisions of the Social Security Act: the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). These provisions reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who receive government pensions, and the bill aims to eliminate these reductions to create a fairer system for all recipients. The bill outlines specific amendments to Section 202 and 215 of the Social Security Act, as well as a detailed timeline for the implementation of these changes.
