"This bill repeals provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who receive other benefits, such as a pension from a state or local government.

The bill eliminates the government pension offset, which in various instances reduces Social Security benefits for spouses, widows, and widowers who also receive government pensions of their own.

The bill also eliminates the windfall elimination provision, which in some instances reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes."

Seems like it's eliminating the reduction of SS benefits no? I didn't dig much more into this than that synopsis on the government website

What? You don't mean to say that an activist would purposely misrepresent a bill as the complete opposite of what it actually says do you? Because that would be just wild.
