On election night, two lawmakers quietly killed a U.S House bill to restore Social Security benefits to many public employees. House leaders plan to revive it.

The House passed House Resolution 82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, on Tuesday, Nov. 12. H.R. 82 aims to eliminate two provisions in the United States, including the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO).

The House is expected to try to pass a Social Security-related bill this week to ensure benefits for workers who are also eligible for other pensions, despite a surprise move by hard-right Freedom Caucus leaders to derail the effort.
