H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, will finally repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO)!
H.R. 82 passed the U.S. House of Representatives on November 12 and the U.S. Senate on December 20 with strong bipartisan support.
TRTA is proud of the bipartisan work done by the House and Senate to pass H.R. 82! As our members know, TRTA and many other organizations across the country have been working to repeal these harmful provisions for more than four decades.
We are one step closer to having our dedicated retired school personnel and other public servants receive their hard-earned Social Security benefits! We will bring you any news about when and how benefits may be handled as those details become available, including when benefits will be paid.
Thank you all for your membership and support of TRTA. We hope you can see the value in your association. Please ask others to join us.
It will take all TRS retirees working with us and making the investment necessary in this organization to protect what we have achieved!
Please support us today and renew your membership dues! If you are not a member, please join today! It may be the best $35 you spend every year to protect and improve your livelihood and income as we continue to fight for your retirement security!
TRTA is turning its attention back to the upcoming Texas 89th Legislative Session that begins in January. Please stay tuned to the Inside Line!
