Help Eliminate the Social Security Offset

The Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government
Pension Offset affects California educators who should be entitled to both STRS and Social Security. Once STRS members collect benefits, Social Security benefits are greatly reduced.

You can join thousands of other people in the education field who are fighting this non-partisan battle. Simply click on the link below to the NEA web page on the proposed legislation, read the brief description of the issue, then PLEASE send an e-mail to your representatives in Congress following the zip code search.
