The resolution urges the United States Congress and the President to enact the "Social Security Fairness Act," which seeks to repeal the government pension offset (GPO) and the windfall elimination provision (WEP) of the Social Security Act. These provisions disproportionately affect public employees, particularly law enforcement officers, firefighters, and certain local government workers in New Jersey, by reducing or eliminating their Social Security benefits. The resolution highlights that many retirees rely heavily on Social Security for their income, with a significant number depending on it for the majority of their financial support.

The GPO and WEP have been criticized for unfairly penalizing individuals who have dedicated their careers to public service, often leading to financial hardships for them and their families. The resolution points out that these provisions can result in substantial monthly losses in Social Security benefits, which were earned through payroll taxes. By urging the enactment of the Social Security Fairness Act, the resolution aims to alleviate these penalties, thereby encouraging qualified individuals to pursue careers in public service and supporting the financial well-being of those who have served their communities.
