Introduced
7/18/24  

Caption

Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 82) to amend title II of the Social Security Act to repeal the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions.

Impact

If passed, HR1364 would initiate a significant change in how retirement benefits are calculated for individuals affected by the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions. By repealing these provisions, the bill would potentially enhance the financial stability of many retirees who face reductions in their Social Security benefits due to these rules. The removal of these offsets could lead to larger monthly benefits for eligible individuals, providing a critical boost to their income during retirement.

Summary

HR1364 primarily addresses the procedural aspects surrounding the consideration of H.R. 82, which seeks to amend Title II of the Social Security Act by repealing the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions. These provisions currently reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive pensions from non-Social Security-covered employment, often affecting retirees who have worked in both private and public sectors. The bill sets forth the framework for an orderly debate and eventual vote on H.R. 82, highlighting the resolution's role in facilitating legislative discussion on an issue that has significant implications for many retirees.

Contention

There is an undercurrent of contention surrounding the repeal of these provisions. Proponents argue that the current offsets are unfairly punitive against retirees who have contributed to both public pensions and Social Security, essentially penalizing them for their varied work histories. However, opponents may raise concerns about the fiscal implications of increasing payouts under Social Security, and how such changes could impact the overall sustainability of the program. The discussions around HR1364 could bring to light varying opinions on the balance between supporting retirees and safeguarding Social Security's integrity.
