NEA Calls For End of Social Security Offsets
Over 60 NEA activists
from across the country came to Washington, DC, on January 16 to
attend a hearing held by the House Ways and Means Committee,
Subcommittee on Social Security, on the Government Pension Offset
and Windfall Elimination Provision.
The fight continues to move the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R.
82/S. 206) forward for a vote. The bill, which would repeal both the
GPO and WEP, has 336 Co-Sponsors in the House and 36 in the Senate --
record numbers for both chambers.
Tell Congress to
take IMMEDIATE ACTION to pass this critical legislation.

More education issues will be on the front burner for Congress' second session. Learn more about the current status of Important Education Issues.
