Urge Congress: Repeal Unfair Social Security Offsets
NEA supports repeal of the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which penalize some public employees by cutting or taking away completely Social Security benefits they or their spouse earned.
Legislation (H.R. 235) to completely repeal the GPO/WEP has been reintroduced in the House.
NEA Supports this proposal.
