PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNS HR 82: Social Security Fairness Act Becomes Law!
On Sunday, January 05, 2025, President Biden and dozens of advocates filed into the White House for the historic signing of HR 82. For over 40 years, public sector employees have been treated unfairly and denied critical Social Security benefits that they not only paid into and earned, but deserved. With this signing, our retirees and their spouses can finally be made whole.
