Erich Wagner at The Postal Times reports a bipartisan pair of Lawmakers announced they would act to force a vote on the House floor on a measure that would repeal a pair of controversial tax rules that negatively impact some Federal Employees’ retirement income.  The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), introduced last year by U.S. Representatives Abigail Spanberger (Democrat-Virginia) and Garrett Graves (Republican-Louisiana) would repeal Social Security’s Windfall Elimination Provision and Government pension offset.  According to the Lawmakers, the Windfall Elimination Provision affects the Social Security benefits of roughly two million former Government Workers, while the GPO impacts nearly 800,000 Retirees.
