Kaptur. \u201cWith an average increase of $140 a month, we\u2019re putting real money in seniors\u2019 pockets that will go a long way in helping with everyday expenses. Now, we must build on this progress by passing the Social Security 2100 Act. Our bill would repeal the harmful Windfall Elimination and Government Pension Offset Provisions, increase benefits, and cut taxes for millions of seniors. Social Security is a sacred commitment to America\u2019s retirees, and I\u2019ll continue fighting to strengthen its promise for present and future generations.\u201d\n\nThe Social Security 2100 Act is comprehensive legislation co-introduced by Rep. Kaptur that would strengthen Social Security by:\n\nRepealing the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset Provision (GPO) which reduce benefits for police officers, firefighters, teachers, and other public servants\n\nProviding an across-the-board benefits increase for current and future beneficiaries\n\nImproving the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) formula to protect seniors against inflation\n\nCutting taxes on benefits for 23 million Americans\n\nMore information on the Social Security 2100 Act can be found here. More information on the increase to Social Security benefits can be found here.\n\n###\n\nFor more information, contact Chris Dalton at chris.dalton@mail.house.gov.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:20:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://kaptur.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/kaptur-applauds-social-security-boost-calls-passage-social-security"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0408363305032253, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
