The Senate passed bipartisan legislation early Saturday granting full Social Security benefits to over 2.8 million public sector retirees, including teachers and firefighters.
The bill, reflecting bipartisan support, passed with a vote of 76 to 20 in the Senate and 327 to 75 in the House, indicating broad approval.
Notably, the legislation eliminates two provisions established decades ago meant to ensure Social Security’s solvency, risking a timeline for fund depletion by 2038.
The measure is projected to cost approximately $196 billion over a decade, raising concerns amid ongoing debates about federal spending and national debt.
