NEGATIVE Labor 118th Congress

H.R.5342 Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act

Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act — short-term fix for Windfall Elimination Provision that would ultimately expose half a million new workers to benefit reductions (118th Congress)

Legal & Constitutional Grounding

Reforms WEP calculation to ensure proportional Social Security benefits for public servants.

42 U.S.C. § 415(a)(7) (WEP)
  • SSA — 42 U.S.C. § 415(a)(7) (Windfall Elimination Provision), official text

Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act — competing WEP reform. The bill's new formula would extend WEP to approximately 500,000 currently exempt workers, expanding rather than eliminating the benefit reduction that the Social Security Fairness Act fully addresses.
