— CALL TO ACTION — 

Tell Congress to pass H.R. 82/S. 597
The "Social Security Fairness Act"

The “Social Security Fairness Act” would repeal both the “Windfall Elimination Provision” and the “Government Pension Offset” in current Social Security law. In the House, H.R. 82 was introduced by Representatives Garret Graves (R-LA) and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA). In the Senate, S. 597 was introduced by Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Susan Collins (R-ME).

The repeal of the Windfall Elimination (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) has been a top legislative priority for the FOP since 1997.  In this Congress, we have historically high support for both the House and the Senate bills.

The FOP can proudly report that Discharge Petition #16, which will allow H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act,” to be considered on the House floor, has reached the required 218 signatures.  We are asking that ALL FOP members use this Action Center to send an email to their House member asking them to vote for H.R. 82 when it hits the floor!

This effort will not succeed without YOU, so please send this message to your Representative and follow up with phone calls.  Unless we act NOW, we will miss this opportunity to pass the Social Security Fairness Act in the House.
