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.
