Cassidy pushing for floor vote on Social Security Fairness Act

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – There are just a couple weeks left in the current Congress and many retirees in Louisiana are closely watching to see if the Social Security Fairness Act will pass out of the Senate and be signed by the President.

The bill would eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, which deduct funds from some monthly payments.

It would impact millions of people nationwide, but the price tag could cause a holdup on the Senate floor.

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, who supports the bill, says it’s small when you consider what’s at stake.

“It was going to be Chuck Schumer. And so I raised this issue. And so I’m hoping we get a floor vote. Now, if somebody objects to it, because it does cost $100 billion or something like that, it may be that somebody objects to it based on the fiscal net. I will point out that $100 billion is only six months out of the trust fund”, said Senator Bill Cassidy (R) Louisiana.

Senator Cassidy said he has been meeting with Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer to try and get a floor vote scheduled on the bill before time runs out.
