More information on Social Security Windfall Act and Teachers

Many readers have been asking for more information. Here is some details people have asked me to find:

1. What is the name of the current legislation trying to end this Windfall Act?
A new bill from the House of Representatives, HR 235 and a Senate bill, S484, were reintroduced to do the same thing – "repeal the government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions."

2. How do I find my political leaders to contact to support this legislation?

Find your representatives and assembly members here:

or

Click “find my district” on this page http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/defaulttext.asp

3. Where can I learn more about this provision?

I have contacted my senators,representatives,etc.-with absolutely no luck getting a human reaction. My husband was RR employee;I don't get a true 'gov't'
pension,it's federal-administered.
But I still can't get anyone to
read those documents & see that it's illegal to withhold my Soc.
