It is kind of late, if it passes I may have to celebrate tomorrow night

Roll call vote ongoing, then the vote on the bill. This is is.

Fingers crossed!

I will be eligible for early SS next month, but of course plan to wait. Still it will be nice to know it will not be cut in half when I am ready.

76-20 The Bill has passed!!!

Hallelujah, is that the final vote? My senate feed is wonky

I believe it was!

Overwhelming passed. This huge for many.


If Biden can stay lucid to sign it into law.

I am glad they finally took care of this. I planned my life around the WEP and now that it is not a problem I am elated!

Me too.
My payout isn’t much, 1300 a month at 62. But that’s better than 500.

My wife worked in corporate until we had kids, then she worked for the school district. We were just gonna cash out her school pension to avoid the windfall. Now she can collect both.

Outstanding.

When my decided to retire from the school district, the meeting at TRS office in Austin was very informative. She could only take 3 years of lump sum, and it also reduced the monthly amount by $500. And if I would be able to continue collecting payments if she passed first, that’s another $500 reduction per month. But then if I pass first, she will get that $500 reinstated.

BTW, Cornyn did vote Yea on this bill. There must have been enough pressure to change his mind.

I have never cared for Mr. Schumer, but he was the reason this was passed. It was good to see 76 Senators realized we have been getting hosed for a long time.

Rubio missed the vote. He was also for it. His son was playing in a bowl game for Florida Gators. He scored a TD, nice moment for him.

What’s the next step, Mr. Potato head has to sign the bill?

Yes, then we will see how long it takes to implement. I am a long way away from drawing SS, but I hope yall that are currently drawing get it soon

It will definitely help with dealing with the inflation.

The effective date in the bill's text is December 2023. I am not sure how that works, but some of y'all might be getting back pay.

That would be a great windfall!

Wow, good for those that are already retired. I hope he signs the bill soon.

It has been presented to him. Maybe he will get around to it after commuting death row inmates.

He probably won’t sign it because it probably helps conservatives the most as cops and fire fighters are mostly conservative. Just one last FU to you guys.
