Automatic 60% deduction of SS benefits, no inheritance of spousal benefits. Many, like me, had a civil service job and have a pension but also worked many jobs part time since the age of 15 to 75. My SS benefits have been taken away, I worked, paid into, and earned those benefits. When I applied for SS the agent at the SS told me with a chuckle (not a smear) that I would be getting $4.00 a month from SS. I was entitled to around $400 but took the SS benefits at 62 and took that early reduction but then WEP kicked in and my $4.00 a month check arrived promptly every month. It’s about time. TY representative Spanberger for fighting for this.
HR 82 just passed…347 YEA votes! Now…S 597 needs a VOTE…to repeal: WEP and GOVERNMENT PENSION OFFSET….asap! Currently: 62 Co-Sponsors. . My deceased husband PAID IN....and I DON'T get ANY of his larger benefit! I taught Title 1 Reading to impoverished kids in MO. and KS. I need my SPOUSAL BENEFIT as a widow….right now!
Will take 40% of my social security after earning enough quarters. Now I'm working for the State of Nevada as a licensed educator, and they will take 40% of my SS benefits when I retire. Currently still working as an educator and have reached full retirement age. I'm receiving my full benefit from Social Security but when I retire and begin receiving my pension, I can look forward to almost nothing!
Thank you..teacher for 30 years..always worked a second job during the summer…hopefully this will pass in the Senate..

It’s their money. Why should the government steal it?
Government has become a gang of thieves.
The government has been stealing from me for the past fifty years!
I am one of them Garret speaks of that get penalized. I wish Garret could continue his work in the house.
I urge our senators to end the Windfall Elimination Act.
Not fair to we who worked hard as police, Firemen, Teachers, etc.
Yes they take 40 % of my SS checks after being a police officer for 30 years.
