On April 16, 2024, at 2:00 PM CT, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing to discuss the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which impact the Social Security benefits of some former government employees. The hearing, led by the Social Security Subcommittee, aimed to address these provisions that prevent certain individuals from receiving overly generous benefits. Members of Congress, including Rep. Julia Letlow and Rep. Spanberger, encouraged public participation and emphasized the need for reforms like the Social Security Fairness Act to eliminate WEP and GPO.
🚨Today, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on reforms to WEP & GPO — like our Social Security Fairness Act. I urge the Committee to build upon this momentum and send our bipartisan bill to the U.S. House floor for a vote. We must eliminate the WEP & GPO.
