In a significant victory for NAPO, the Senate passed the Social Security Fairness Act tonight by a vote of 76-20, rejecting all amendments.

With the passage of this bill Congress has acted to end over 40 years of the federal government taking the hard-earned benefits of our nation’s law enforcement officers and public servants. The repeal of the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) will preserve the retirement security of those who chose to selflessly serve and protect our communities. NAPO has been fighting to pass the Social Security Fairness Act for nearly 30 years and we are grateful to Senators Brown and Collins and Representatives Graves and Spanberger for their tireless efforts to get this important bill across the finish line.

We will now press President Biden to sign H.R. 82 into law.
