GPO/WEP cut back or completely eliminate Social Security retirement benefits that have been fairly earned by government workers and their spouses. Support Bills S. 915/H.R. 1205 to finally stop these unjust, punitive Federal provisions.
Why is this important?
GPO and WEP penalize thousands of retirees; 79% of them are women. Loss of earned benefits is severe, often resulting in substantial lifestyle reductions and even poverty for first responders, fire and police personnel, who may have come from the military, as well as teachers, librarians, air traffic controllers, secretaries and others whose fully-earned Social Security from previous jobs will be cut back when they retire. Their spouses suffer loss as well.
