As a WAYS & MEANS Committee member, please retain the original language of H.R. 82, an important bipartisan bill to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO).
Retired Americans are counting on their elected officials to give H.R. 82 the floor vote it deserves because it repeals the penalties that affect the earned benefits of Social Security recipients and their spouses.
The WEP affects retired/disabled workers, spouses, and children. In contrast, the GPO disproportionately affects women (spouses and widow(er)s), suffering devastating financial losses when their spouse dies and losing an already paid-for spousal survivor benefit.
I appeal to you to move forward with the solid bipartisan bill, H.R. 82, and vote on it as written to help American citizens and their families.
