Walorski introduces bill to protect seniors working during the pandemic from financial hardship

Representative Jackie Walorski introduced legislation on Wednesday designed to provide economic relief to seniors.

The bill is aimed at effectively suspending penalties for most Social Security recipients in the workforce during the pandemic. Seniors who continue working or return to work after claiming Social Security benefits would no longer face Retirement Earnings Test penalties.

The legislation would increase the early retiree earnings limits for two years and bring economic relief to the seniors in the workforce.
