Both provisions would be repealed by the bill, thereby increasing Social Security payments for many. The budgetary effect of the legislation is considerable, adding an estimated $195 billion to federal deficits over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The House is expected to try to pass a Social Security-related bill this week to ensure benefits for workers who are also eligible for other pensions, despite a surprise move by hard-right Freedom Caucus leaders to derail the effort.

A Social Security-related bill with bipartisan support would expand benefits for workers who are also eligible for other pensions.

“Here we go… The Republicans in the House introduced a bill yesterday to reduce Social Security payments to anyone receiving a military pension,” reads one post. “Ummm, so House Republicans just laid a bill on the table to reduce social security payments for Americans who receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer,” says another.

After years of workers not receiving their full Social Security benefits, Congress is voting whether to remove two key provisions or keep them.

The House of Representatives voted to increase Social Security benefits for millions of Americans this week with a bipartisan majority, but a substantial number of Republicans voted against the measure to help pensioners and their spouses get full benefits.

Would provide long overdue fairness to police officers, firefighters, educators and government employees who start second careers before or during retirement.
