Oppose Social Security Offsets
The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 235), introduced by Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), would rescind the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). The WEP can reduce a Social Security benefit by as much as 50 percent simply because the recipient receives a federal pension. The GPO penalizes federal employees who are also eligible for Social Security benefits based on a spouse’s work record. Support this legislation.


Extend Paid Parental Leave to Federal Employees
Support legislation in the Senate providing paid parental leave for federal employees.


Support the Premium Conversion Bill

House
and Senate bills would allow federal and military retirees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for their health insurance premiums, as active federal workers already do.


Lift the Cap of FEHBP Eligibility
Currently child dependents lose eligibility under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program family coverage when they turn 22. NTEU supports H.R. 2978 to raise the age limit to 25. Act now


Boost Whistleblower Protections
Ask your representatives to support the the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2009 (H.R. 1507). This legislation is of great importance for all federal employees and for the tax-paying public.
