Social Security benefits restored for millions of pensioners
By Andrea Thompson
In the early hours of December 21st, the Senate passed the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 with a 76-20 vote. This significant relief for more than 3 million Social Security pensioners is among the final measures anticipated to be enacted by President Biden before his presidency concludes.
This legislation represents a crucial advancement in reforming the Social Security system. It seeks to correct benefit disparities and promote a fairer allocation of resources for retirees and disabled individuals. Fundamentally, it reinstates Social Security benefits for those who have contributed to the system, ensuring justice for those who have also invested in other pension plans that are not subject to Social Security withholding taxes.
