                      SOCIAL SECURITY FAIRNESS ACT

  (Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANDSMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to call for real action on 
the Social Security Fairness Act and have it be brought to the floor. 
There are over 300 of us who have signed onto this bill, and once you 
hit 290, it should come to the floor.
  Now, the bill itself will be a game changer for public employees who 
are retired and aren't getting all of their Social Security, even 
though they paid into Social Security throughout their career.
  The bill aims to ensure that retired public servants receive their 
full Social Security benefits. This is obviously so critically 
important as people are working to pay their bills, visit family, buy 
groceries, et cetera.
  Americans pay into Social Security. They have for decades so that 
they can receive their hard-earned dollars when they retire. By fixing 
the program, millions of families will know their full Social Security 
benefits will be there for them when they retire.
  I will say that people come up to me all the time and say, if this 
passes, we are talking $1,800, $2,000. Please bring it to the floor.
