The Social Security Fairness Act, a bipartisan bill I led the first public hearing on and helped enact into law, ensures that millions of teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public servants receive the benefits they earned. In Ohio alone, more than 200,000 public servants have received payments totaling more than $1.8 billion.
Under Social Security Commissioner Bisignano’s leadership, these retroactive payments were administered five months ahead of schedule. As Vice Chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, I thank Commissioner Bisignano and look forward to our continued work together.
