President Biden is set to sign legislation that will provide full Social Security benefits to nearly 3 million U.S. retirees who previously had their benefits reduced due to having a public pension. The Social Security Fairness Act ends two federal policies that have unfairly impacted these workers for decades.
President Biden is expected to sign legislation on Monday extending full Social Security benefits to nearly 3 million U.S. retirees. The Social Security Fairness Act would eliminate two federal policies that prevent former police officers, firefighters, postal workers, teachers and others with a public pension from collecting their full Social Security benefits. The Senate approved the legislation on December 21.
Organizations representing firefighters and police officers have been informed that Mr. Biden is poised to sign the bill and a signing ceremony is scheduled for Monday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The bill's passage is a victory for public service workers who have been denied the full benefits they've rightfully earned, according to the Senior Citizens League
