Please contact your Senator and House Member and ask them to cosponser Senate Bill #619 and HR 1795. If you are a menber of an organization, FOP, AFT, NARFE or Other Organization ask that they join the effort. It is a matter of fairness.
Why is this important?
Individuals who have worked in careers where they receive a pension from work not covered by social security are being penalized by reducing their earned social security benefits. The benefit formula under SS already has a built in reduction for those with fewer covered work years. Firefighters,teachers,government workers, municipal workers,police are all victims. Many had already changed careers and became victims without benefit of career selection. This is a double reduction in calculating benefits.
