The Social Security Fairness Act H.R. 82 for 2023, in the 118th Congress has 194 cosponsors as of 3/9/23, this time last year in the 117th Congress H.R. 82 had 91 cosponsors. That is terrific, last year we obtained 305 cosponsors over the 290 cosponsors. H.R. 82 was assigned to the Consensus Calendar where it must maintain 290 cosponsors for 25 Legislative days but was moved off the Consensus Calendar after a markup hearing was held. H.R. 82 because of this action and the time restraints H.R. 82 legislation was not voted on in the 117th Congress.
With everyone contacting their U.S. House Representatives also Representatives in other States and ask them to cosponsor H.R. 82 who have not and thanking their Representatives that have cosponsors, we are on our way of reaching 290 cosponsors with enough time to move H.R. 82 through the Congress for a vote hopefully.
