GPO/WEP Summit

On March 9th and 10th, NARFE staff participated in and led a session of a legislative “summit” on the unfair and arbitrary Social Security Government Pension Offset (GPO) and so called Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). Many of the participants representing state teacher retirement organizations traveled to Washington for the summit. On March 10th NARFE Legislative Department staff, led the session to update state-based participants on NARFE’s efforts and those of the Coalition to Assure Retirement Equity (CARE). Founded by NARFE in 1991, CARE is comprised of 40 national, state and local organizations solely for the purpose of addressing the Social Security offsets. The House sponsor of complete repeal legislation (H.R. 235), Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA), and a cosponsor, Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) addressed the summit. NARFE magazine (May issue) will include full coverage

  1. This goverment will never pass the windfall elimination provision. They have been setting on it for years, altho they say they are for it. It is time we take action and file a class action lawsuit against the goverment. This goverment is the biggest DISCTIMINATOR, PREDJUDICE and they have legalized FRAUD. I would like your opinion and any one else that it apply too. E-Mail ceriggs100@gmail.com

  4. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN.

  5. It is estimated that the United States is going to spend over 4 Trillion Dollars on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - and that doesn't include the cost of rebuilding those rat-hole countries. Meanwhile, the government says it can't afford to pay Earned Social Security Benefits to seniors effected by WEP & GPO because it would cost 62 Billion Dollars over a ten year period. What is wrong with this country?
