Act Now! WEP Deprives Polish-American Retirees of Their Hard-Earned Social Security Retirement Benefits

Act Now! WEP Deprives Polish-American Retirees of Their Hard-Earned Social Security Retirement Benefits

Polish American Strategic Initiative (PASI) invites you to a Zoom Town Hall Meeting for Polish American Organizations in support of the Social Security Fairness Act of 2021 (H.R 82 and S. 1302).

The proposed Social Security Fairness Act is to eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which deprives Polish American and other retirees of their hard-earned Social Security retirement benefits.

WEP as well as GPO (Government Pension Offset) penalize 2.5 million immigrants and government workers with non-covered employment.

Join us on ZOOM and learn why WEP is discriminatory, unjust, and what Polonia can do to repeal it. Support the Social Security Fairness Act to fully repeal both the GPO and WEP for the benefit of millions of immigrants and public servants.

You can learn more about the Windfall Elimination Provision here:

Additional information:

  • PASI, together with the Missouri Division of Polish American Congress, wants to bring this issue to the attention of the US Congress for the sole purpose of eliminating this unjust and hurtful law.
  • We will need the support of all Polish American Organizations, to form a united front to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision.
  • Please review both letters (see attachments) that we intend to send to both Houses of the US Congress and sign the Declaration of Support on behalf of your organization.
  • The more organizations we can list on our letter to Congress the more of an impact we will have to persuade Congress to take action against the established law.

We look forward to having as many signatures of Polish American organizations as possible.
We hope you can join us for the zoom meeting.

If you cannot join us for the zoom meeting, we would appreciate it if you could
sign the Declaration of Support on behalf of your organization as soon as possible.

This is the most critical step to make our voices heard. Please reply to this invitation by clicking one of the following statements by August 21, 2021.

I accept the invitation and will attend.

I am unable to attend, but I will sign the Declaration of Support.
