Rhode Island’s Congressional Delegation attended a celebration on Monday at National Education Association Rhode Island’s headquarters for the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act, which President Biden signed into law last month. However, the delegation is now calling on President Trump to expedite implementation of the new law, which is now bogged down with delays.

U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, along with Congressmen Seth Magaziner and Gabe Amo, have joined with union officials to call on the Trump administration to swiftly implement the new law that increases Social Security benefits for 3 million public service retirees who draw public pensions. All four members of Rhode Island’s congressional delegation cosponsored the Social Security Fairness Act.
