Today, January 5, 2025 President Joe Biden signed H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, into law. With this signing, the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) are finally repealed!<\/p>\n

Members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) have been awaiting this moment anxiously since the bill\u2019s passage in the Senate on December 20, 2024<\/a> after passing in the U.S. House on November 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRTA Executive Director Tim Lee attended the bill signing at the White House in Washington, D.C. sharing several photos and a live video<\/a> on TRTA\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TRTA expresses its sincere appreciation to President Biden for his support of H.R. 82 and the many deserving public servants who will now be able to receive their hard-earned Social Security benefits. TRTA also thanks Texas Congressman Lance Gooden for ensuring TRTA was able to attend this historic occasion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

TRTA will share news about when and how benefits may be handled as those details become available, including when benefits will be paid. Please bear in mind the Social Security Administration may need several months to process benefit changes for more than 2.5 million Americans affected by WEP and\/or GPO. We ask for your patience as we work to gather more information.<\/p>\n

Gracias a todos por su membres\u00eda y apoyo a TRTA. Esperamos que puedan ver el valor de su asociaci\u00f3n. Por favor, inviten a otros a unirse a nosotros. \u00a1Ser\u00e1 necesario que todos los jubilados de TRS trabajen con nosotros y hagan la inversi\u00f3n necesaria en esta organizaci\u00f3n para proteger lo que hemos logrado!<\/p>\n

Por favor ap\u00f3yanos hoy y\u00a0Renueva tu cuota de membres\u00eda<\/a>! Si no eres miembro,\u00a0Por favor \u00fanete hoy<\/a>\u00a1Puede ser el mejor $35 que invierta cada a\u00f1o en proteger y mejorar su sustento y sus ingresos mientras seguimos luchando por su seguridad jubilatoria!<\/p>\n

TRTA is turning its attention back to the upcoming Texas 89th<\/sup> Legislative Session that begins on January 14. Please stay tuned to the L\u00ednea interior<\/em>!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
