Summary
The Senate passed the Social Security Fairness Act in a 76-20 vote, sending it to President Biden for approval.
The bill repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, which reduced Social Security benefits for nearly 3 million retirees, including teachers, police officers, and postal workers.
It also restores full benefits for surviving spouses and families of these workers.
