A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is pushing to repeal a set of Social Security rules that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive pension income from certain public service jobs.

The proposed legislation would erase the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset ( GPO ) The WEP is believed to reduce benefits for about 2 million Americans , while the GPO rule affects about 800,000 Americans .

Critics say the provisions disproportionately affect public sector professionals who dedicated their careers to service.
