this is a critical test vote in the senate in just a few hours on legislation that would put more money in the pockets of retirees the Social Security Fairness Act would expand benefits for nearly 3 million retired teachers firefighters police officers and other public servants
it would do that by repealing policies that limit Social Security payments for some retirees who also collect public pensions now the average monthly social security check right now for retired workers is about $22,000
this bill did already pass the house with bipartisan support but some Republican senators are worried about its price tag that will add about $200 billion to the deficit as it stands right now
the Social Security trust fund is set to run out of money in just 9 years if this legislation to expand benefits doesn't pass the Senate by the end of the session this week then law would have to start from scratch,
thank you
