Though President-elect Donald Trump has often promised to protect Social Security, he has not explained exactly how he would save the beloved – but financially troubled – entitlement program. Nor did he take any meaningful steps to shore up Social Security during his first term in the White House.

A Social Security-related bill with bipartisan support would expand benefits for workers who are also eligible for other pensions.

The House is expected to try to pass a Social Security-related bill this week to ensure benefits for workers who are also eligible for other pensions, despite a surprise move by hard-right Freedom Caucus leaders to derail the effort.

The bill received wide bipartisan support to get rid of the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset Provision.

Would provide long overdue fairness to police officers, firefighters, educators and government employees who start second careers before or during retirement.
