Hinson plans to sign the discharge petition for H.R. 82 to force Speaker Pelosi to bring this legislation to the floor for a vote. "Iowa teachers, police officers, first responders, and other public servants have dedicated their lives to bettering our communities and deserve their full retirement. The Social Security Fairness Act will ensure Iowa public servants receive the benefits they have earned. This is more important now than ever as Iowa seniors struggle to make ends meet due to inflation; Congress should pass this bipartisan legislation now." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson Background: Currently, the Government Pension Offset and the Windfall Elimination Provision unfairly reduce the earned retirement, disability, spousal, and survivor benefits of lower-paid public workers. The bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act eliminates these provisions, ensuring retired public servants receive their full benefits. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:34:28Z |
