The Social Security Fairness Act would repeal two-decades-old provisions that can reduce benefits for people who also receive a pension.

The House of Representatives last month approved the bill in a 327 -75 vote.

The bill will overturn a decades-old change to the program that had been made to limit federal benefits to some higher-earning workers with pensions.

Some federal budget experts warned the change could hurt the program's already shaky finances.
