Please repost this to @POTUS & @JoeBiden to sign HR 82 Social Security Fairness Act as soon as he receives it. This restores all benefits to public servants who earned them by paying into SS. Other recipients lose nothing. @SenateDems

For years, Many people and groups have been fighting for the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset to be repealed, but it happened not due to one political party or another. It happened because Congress worked together. So THANK YOU 118th Congress‼️⚖️‼️
