Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 82) to amend title II of the Social Security Act to repeal the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions.
This resolution is a procedural measure that allows the House of Representatives to consider H.R. 82, a bill that would repeal two provisions of Social Security law: the government pension offset and the windfall elimination provision. These provisions currently reduce Social Security benefits for certain people who receive government pensions, particularly retired federal, state, and local government employees. The resolution waives standard procedural requirements and limits debate to one hour, with one opportunity to offer amendments before a final vote. The measure affects millions of government retirees and their families who could see increases to their Social Security benefits if H.R. 82 becomes law. This is a time-limited procedural vote designed to expedite consideration of the substantive bill.
