The Social Security Fairness Act would eliminate a provision that reduces Social Security payments to some retirees who also collect a pension from jobs that aren't covered by the retirement program.

The bill was passed by the House in a 327 -75 vote late Tuesday night , after a last-ditch effort to derail it failed.

Despite having 62 cosponsors in the Senate , the bill still needs to be brought up for a vote by Senate leadership.
