vants due to a bureaucratic rule that causes Social Security to re-
port erroneous projected benefits and arbitrarily reduce their ben-
efits. To prevent this. 1 have introduced legislation that protects
the retirement savings of our hardest working public servants and
ensures that they arc not caught off guard by unfair regulations.
Instead of paying into the Social Security system, many state ____________
employees and public servants contribute to a non-Social Security SUgar beet refinery
plan such as the Teacher Retirement System of Texas or a
firefighters’ pension fund When they retire, they receive benefits
from these plans rather than from Social Security
But di fficultv can arise for Texans who spend part of their ca-
reer as public servants not eligible for Social Security, and another
part of their career in a Social Security covered job When the So-
cial Sccuntv Administration (SSA) attempts to estimate future ben-
efits for a person with this type of career history, it does not know
that they will be receiving pension payments from a public sector
retirement plan
As a result the SSA over-estimates the monthly amount this
person is eligible to receive in Social Security benefits, and passes
the incorrect estimate on to them to use when planning for their
retirement It is only when these retirees actually apply for benefits
that the SSA corrects" its mistake and reduces the amount of their
monthly Social Sccuntv check using a rule called the Windfall
Elimination Provision (WEP)
After inanv vears of sav ing. planning and trusting that the gov-
ernment will provide what it promised, too many Texans affected
by the WEP arc left holding the bag. The amount that a person’s
Social Sccuntv is reduced due to the WEP is arbitrarily decided by
the SSA and may not properly reflect the amount of Social Secu-
rity the person has earned And. contrary to its original purpose,
the WEP tends to have the most negative impact on people with
lower incomes
Congressman Kevin Brady and I have introduced the Public
Servant Retirement Protection Act of 2007 to amend the WEP and
ensure that Texas ’ public sonants are not undermined by dis-
criminatory Social Security formulas Estimated benefits statements
produced by the SSA should not mislead Texans about the amount
they have paid into the Social Security system, and the amount
they can realistically expect to receive in return
The difficulty many Texans have with the WEP and other regu-
honored for his many years of lations reflects broader problems with our nation’s Social Security
system. It is a 1930s government program that needs major re-
forms to remain viable in the 21st Century Millions of Texans
depend on it in their retirement years, and trust the federal govern-
ment to give them accurate information about their benefits.
I am committed to keeping our promises to today’s seniors and
the hard-working Americans who will rely on this safety net in the
future Social Security reform is long overdue, and I will continue
to work toward a lasting, bipartisan and comprehensive solution.
