Biden may sign Social Security Fairness Act to boost benefits for millions of workers

President Joe Biden may sign the Social Security Fairness Act, which aims to remove restrictions on benefits for about 2.8 million American workers. The bill passed the Senate with strong bipartisan support and is now awaiting Biden's signature. The legislation would eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset, which currently reduce benefits for public sector workers receiving pensions. If signed, it would increase Social Security payments for many police officers, firefighters, and teachers. Biden is expected to sign the bill on January 6, according to various sources, including the National Fraternal Order of Police. If not signed by January 8, the bill would need to be reintroduced in the new Congress.
