Last night, the Senate passed our Social Security Fairness Act. This means teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public servants in AZ will get the Social Security benefits they earned – a clear win for families across our state.

The Senate voted early Saturday morning to repeal two laws that prevent many public employees from receiving Social Security, a move that is expected to weigh on the overall solvency of the Social Security system.

The bill, which heads to President Biden’s desk, repeals provisions that reduce benefits for thousands of public services workers in CT.
