The bill is very unfair for people on social security that have no pension because social security will run out sooner and will get a 20% or higher cut. It’s running out.

Thank you Shawn and everyone involved in getting HR82 passed. It's been long overdue and without the efforts of you folks and several others around the country we'd still be getting cheated out of what is rightfully ours as tax payers. I'm very thankful for all your efforts. Not to stir the pot here but one question I have is, in the November email sent out on this bill it stated the retro was to be dated back to 01Jan23. While changing any wording in the bill would have required a complete restart to the process who, how and why was that date changed. Again I'm thankful for the effort put into getting this bill passed but find it interesting how dates were changed.

THANKYOU !!

Thank you Shawn. This is truly a Christmas miracle!

I am grateful for all individuals and groups that continued to preserve despite numerous setbacks.Getting my widow's pension will be life altering. I know that my husband's spirit is rejoicing that he can now support me in death as he did in life.

Some of us, others are ME! Teaching overseas in an international school.

Thank You So Much Shawn for your tireless support and dedication, Well Done !

I don't see any confirmation that he signed it yesterday (Monday). I'm very nervous over this signing.

There is still going to be some stupid Massachusetts workers who will call & go to Social Security offices on Monday.

Thank you for your hard work in getting this done! For all of you who are not union members please consider joining and supporting the union! It is the support of the union that got this done!

Thank you for all the support help and encouragement that you have provided! I am a lifelong Union Member

Not true!! HR 82 So ial Securty Fairness Act sent Niden on December 27, 2024. Anyone can go to Congress.gov and it shows Biden received the bill on December 2, 2024

Wonderful to share in your clear report on what great events are coming in SSA., a calm, reassurance. Thank you.

Does it matter that the last date I worked for the State was in 2013? Do I still qualify?

This injustice was under Reagan.

This is BS. I paid into SS for over 50 years and still barely surviving below the poverty line. Now these federal workers get their pension and SS? This just sounds like more liberal BS. Half of my benefit is gone the day I get it just to pay rent. I dare any congress man to live on $1150 a month.

The retroactive money for a year has been confirmed because it's part of the legislation...Geeez so much for the thumbs up for this video..

This horrible legacy of the Reagan Administration is finally put in the dustbin of History where it belongs.

I was in the Army 78-92 and then Federal government employee from 1994-2014 20 years of honorable service. Will this effect me as well.

My wife was a teacher for over 10 years, she passed away some years ago. I have survivor benefits along with my social security. My survivor benefit is only a part of what I currently receive. With the new HR82 bill being signed by the President will I get an increase in my social security from my survivor benefits. If True, being signed by the President on January 6, 2025 and it becomes a law.I live in Virginia

What happens if the offset came out of my federal pension and not my SS. $950 each month. I was civil service for 35 years and continued paying into SS the entire time as well as many years in the private sector.

Happy New Year 🎉

Thank you for all you do. I am from Ohio and I have been following your work on this for years. Your videos have given me hope. This will change our lives for the better and we will finally be treated fairly.

This is disgusting. Are Massachusetts public employees going to start paying into Social Security now that this law has passed?

Yes….thank you for your good work. There have been many who have kept this before the people who simply do not understand how this has affected families. 40% in my case. Forty cents on the dollar. I don’t believe it has to take long….reverse it. You sucked up the money month after month, year after year. Re-program. You have the numbers already. Pay an interim amount Now. Settle up and fine tune later… They know how much, they’ve had plenty of time to figure it.

I don’t fall under WEP or GPO , but I’m happy for everyone affected by the good news!!!

How hard would it be for Biden after the Senate passed the act to put out a statement of support.? Shows a lack of caring for the 3 million affected by the bill/ I voted for Biden and Harris but very disappointed in how he handled it

WooHoo!

Hallelujah Jesus!!!

Thank you so much for the update, was really getting nervous! Happy New Year!!’

Your info concerning spousal benefits is incomplete. The 10 years of marriage rule only applies to divorce. A current spouse only has to be married at least one year and assuming a benefit on their own record does not exceed 1/2 of the spouse benefit.

Dear Shawn, Many thanks to you for your update tonight as well as the ongoing excellent communication throughout this long process. I am so happy for all those affected by WEP and GPO to have this law repealed. Thank you Mass Retirees! Thank you to the lawmakers who voted to repeal. Thank you President Biden for signing the bill on January 6th.

Thank you for the great support😊

Hallelujah! I've been cheated out of my full Social Security benefits for the past 8 years! So in reality I've been donating part of my Social Security to some other retiree for the last 8 years! The Social Security Fairness Act will only compensate me for last year but at least from 2025 forward I will receive my full Social Security benefit! As for the projected shortage that will have to be fixed anyway and can be easily done by raising the cap and paying back the money stolen by Reagan decades ago!

You folks are the best ! Thank you, for your continued efforts throughout the holiday season ! Wishing you, your family, and “CREW” , an outstanding New Year !

Thankyou for the update. In all that is going on I found different blogs that seem to confuse GPO and WEP. It sounded that people drawing SS and a NON -SS retirement from any government sources were subject to both. Only Widows and Widowers are subject to GPO and people who worked Such as I with Military retirement are subject to only WEP. So many were confused on both applying is all situations.

When they made this WEP and GOP law they didn't know the impact to the low and middleclass people! Thats for sure! The public service sector have suffered. They are not exactly high paying job. Many work 2 jobs, I know of a 10 year wage freeze,as well as hiring, when some retired or moved to other jobs. I am age 78, widowed at age 52 and have been retired since 2014. Still working a part-time job.

Is there a Mss Retirement Ass in Ohio???

Is there a Mass Retirement Ass. in Ohio???

NW Ohio here 🙏🏻 ♥️ 🇺🇸

Thank you for all the information. Happy healthy new year.

Thank you for update. When my wife and I get our retro check and increase monthly payments for 2025, this will put us over the irmaa bracket. I know this is probably a good position to be in, but it puts our medicare to a higher price. You probably don't have an answer at this time, but I wonder if there's a waver for a much appreciated windfall.😮

Thank you for your support and dedication for all these years. As a widow , on a very low income, I will now breath so much easier as all our costs are continually rising in disproportion. Keep up the good work!

Let's remember to thank our representatives in Congress.

Thanks so much for helping all of us!

Thank you & Happy New Year

Why did Alabama where my SS check comes from I live in Ohio send me papers to fill out to reduce my SS this year like they do every year I have 15 days to get them sent back they reduce my check every year on wep!

My adult disabled son lost his independence, due to legal theft of $1,000.00 per month…

You’re leaving out the most egregiously damaged folks! Those on SSDI and their State Workers Comp! I am already out 70-k that I will never see , because I live and worked, in a reverse offset state( Washington)
