Today, Congressman Derrick Van Orden supported the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act. This bipartisan legislation addresses a restriction that has prevented seniors with pensions from accessing their full retirement benefits. As a cosponsor of the bill, Van Orden also participated in the discharge petition to prompt House leadership to bring the bill to a vote.
In his statement, Rep. Van Orden emphasized his dedication to senior citizens: “I take my commitment to our seniors seriously. These folks built our nation, and they deserve to retire with dignity and receive the benefits they earned." He further noted that "voting to pass the Social Security Fairness Act was a no-brainer," acknowledging the hard work of America's senior citizens and affirming that "with this bill, we are ensuring they get the full benefits they deserve for their contributions to our nation."
