Rep. Soter Urges Warren and Markey to Bring Social Security Measure to a Vote.

The Social Security Fairness Act has seen strong bipartisan support in the U.S. House of Representatives, being approved by an overwhelming majority (327-75). This act is critical to addressing the inequalities in the current federal law that has resulted in significantly reduced Social Security benefits for millions of public service employees.

Rep. Soter (R-8th Worcester District) joins many other Massachusetts legislators, standing in solidarity with the police officers, firefighters, teachers and other dedicated public employees calling for the U.S. Senate to bring this act to the Senate Floor for its timely passage. This legislation will truly make a positive difference in many constituent lives. Despite these current acts intending to prevent individuals from being paid by Social Security while also receiving a government pension, the result has had severe impact on many families in the country.

Rep. Soter stated “During these difficult times, this truly will help the middle class that are struggling to make ends meet. The Republican led house passed this act overwhelmingly, and it is time to hold Senator Warren to her word that she will put this up for a vote.”

The letter further applauds Majority Leader Schumer’s pledge to bring the act up for vote and urges Senators to work with their colleagues to pass it in a timely manner.
