This provision detrimentally impacts over one million Social Security recipients in the United States. It should be eliminated and those affected made whole.
Why is this important?
I have worked and paid into the system since I came to this country in 1991. On applying for my Social Security benefits I was told I am subject to a windfall elimination of approximately $100 per month simply because I worked in another country and am entitled to receive a pension from that country. I understand there are more than a million people in the U.S. who suffer such a reduction in their paid-for benefits. This provision is antiquated and grossly unfair and should be repealed.
