The repeal, a decades-long priority for public employee advocates, heads to the president for his signature after a late night Senate vote.

The Senate recently passed the Social Security Fairness Act, which now heads to President Biden, who is expected to sign it into law. The bill would eliminate two key Social Security provisions that reduce benefits for government employees who have certain types of pensions.

Congress passed the Social Security Fairness Act over the weekend. The Senate approved it by a vote of 76 to 20. The House had passed it by a similar margin last month. Public servants dedicate years of service to improving the lives of their neighbors and caring for their communities.
