Social Security Issues
(1) Support the H.R. 1332 "Social Security Fairness Act"
We added fifteen (15) cosponsors to H.R. 1332, brining our current total to seventy-six (76). Please note that this total differs slightly from THOMAS, as we are not including Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), who has limited voting rights on the floor.
In addition, National Legislative Office staff are actively working with staff in the office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) on S. 113, the "Public Servant Retirement Protection Act." This legislation would not impact the Government Pension Offset (GPO), but would repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision and replace it with a more equitable, individualized calculation of Social Security benefits based on an individual’s entire work history. Currently, there are no cosponsors on the bill.
The FOP is also working with Representative Kevin P. Brady (R-TX) on a companion bill to S. 113.
(2) Opposing any legislation that would require the participation of public employees in Social Security
The FOP will continue to lobby against this scheme and oppose any legislation which would mandate participation in Social Security. Replies: There have been no replies.
