NAPO VICTORY! - H.R. 82
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 could not have done this without your help and advocacy. Thank you!

NAPO Letter to Congress about the WEP
PANO, as part of the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), joined other law enforcement groups in urging Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer to support the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82 / S. 597). This critical legislation aims to eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), which currently reduce Social Security benefits for many public servants, including law enforcement officers. Repealing these provisions would help restore fair retirement security for those who dedicate their lives to public safety. With broad bipartisan support, we are calling on Senator Schumer to bring this important bill to a vote in the upcoming session.

Social Security Fairness Act Update
In an October 11 meeting with Congressman Garret Graves (R-LA) and Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), the sponsors of H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, they stated their intention of calling the bill up for a vote as soon as Congress returns on November 12. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) then has two days to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. This gives us three weeks to shore up the support of the 329 cosponsors of the bill to ensure we can count on their vote when it comes to the floor.
