01.04.25 #29 NUCPP AT WORK - NUCPP TO ATTEND SOCIAL SECURITY FAIRNESS ACT SIGNING

January 4, 2025                   PLEASE SHARE!!

Pension Warriors—Exciting News! The Social Security Fairness Act involving WEP and GPO has been passed in the Senate and will be signed by President Joe Biden on Sunday, January 5, at 4:00 pm EST. To add to the excitement, NUCPP President Ken Stribling has been invited to attend this special event to represent those who have fought hard to make this happen!

We hope the event will be live-streamed at www.whitehouse.gov/live/. Check this site before 4:00 pm EST, but give it a minute as experience shows that events often don’t start on time.  

As further information concerning the Social Security Fairness Act, we have included an article written by our partner, Richard Fiesta, from the Alliance of Retired Americans:
