Urges Congress and President enact "Social Security Fairness Act."

This New Jersey Senate resolution (SR 110) urges Congress and the President to pass the "Social Security Fairness Act," which aims to repeal two provisions affecting public retirees: the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). These provisions currently reduce or eliminate Social Security benefits for public employees - like firefighters, police officers, and some local government workers - who receive government pensions but also paid Social Security taxes during part of their careers. The resolution notes that GPO and WEP impact nearly 27,000 New Jersey retirees, including causing 90% of affected individuals to lose spousal benefits and reducing monthly benefits by up to $587. As a symbolic resolution, it does not change policy but calls for federal action to address these benefit reductions.
