| Resolution Title | Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Support of Social Security Fairness Act HR 82 |
|---|---|
| Resolution Description (Short) | Support Social Security Fairness Act HR 82 and SB 597 |
| Proposal Type | Initial |
| Business Case | Social Security Fairness Act HR 82 and SB 597 make appropriate revisions to protect social security benefits of Dual-Status Technicians that were covered under the Civil Service Retirement System. WEP stated that a person that was employed and perform work “ as a member of” the uniformed services are not subject to WEP reduction in Social Security benefits. Despite the various military requirements imposed upon National Guard Technicians, the fact that they are defined as “Federal Civilian Employees” necessarily means that their work was “by” a member of uniformed service and no “as” a member of the uniformed service. |
| Recommendation | Support Social Security Fairness Act HR 82 and SB 597. |
