Your Federal Life -- Sept. 11, 2024

It's taken a generation, but now federal benefits have become available for first responders harmed during the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The money was authorized in last year's National Defense Authorization bill. Federal News Network's Drew Friedman joined me when we got details from attorney Michael Barasch of the law firm Barasch and McGarry.

Plus, can it be? The repeal of the windfall elimination provision and the government pension offset will actually happen? The WEP and GPO that hold back Social Security benefits for certain federal and other government employees? We get the latest from a leading advocate for repeal. From the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, John Hatton.
