Hinson Ensures Iowa Public Servants Receive Full Retirement Benefits

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) released the statement below following her vote to support House passage of the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act. This legislation will ensure certain Social Security benefits for millions of retired public servants.

"For far too long, public servants like teachers and police officers in Iowa have been unfairly punished through reduced Social Security benefits. Iowans who dedicate their lives to helping others should not have to worry if they are going to receive their full Social Security benefits when they retire. I fought to bring this bill to the Floor for a vote and proudly supported it to restore full retirement benefits for public servants and help ensure financial security for millions of seniors who have served our communities." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson

Background:
The Social Security Fairness Act will eliminate provisions that reduce the Social Security benefits for public servants, including the government pension offset and the windfall elimination. In September, Congresswoman Hinson signed the bipartisan discharge petition to require the House to bring this legislation to the floor for a vote.
