On the recordNovember 12, 2024
America's public servants deserve to be treated fairly by Social Security, and all of America's seniors deserve access to the benefits that they have earned and to live out their retirement with dignity. These truths are not mutually exclusive. We owe it to those Americans who dedicated their careers to serving the public that they are not treated unfairly because of a mistake Congress made decades ago. We also have a duty to the millions of seniors on Social Security not impacted by GPO or WEP to put in place a legislative fix that protects their benefits. I will commend my colleague and good friend, Congressman Graves, for his tireless work on behalf of these seniors and encourage all of my colleagues to consider how this legislation will affect their constituents one way or another as they vote. Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Graves).
