This something you have never seen and will never see during the Trump years.
"Biden is the first president in more than 20 years to expand Social Security benefits," a White House spokesperson said in a statement. "The bill he is signing today will expand benefits by hundreds of dollars per month for more than 2.5 million Americans."
Social Security Fairness Act could restore benefits for millions, but policies still cause hardship
The new law came in just under the wire, with Mr. Biden signing it only weeks before the end of his presidency and after the Senate on December 21 voted 76-20 to pass the measure in the waning hours of the 118th Congress. House lawmakers approved the bill, known as H.R. 82, in November.

The push to enhance Social Security payments for public pension recipients has been decades in the making, with the Senate holding its first hearings into the policies in 2003.
The Social Security Fairness Act had bipartisan support, yet faced last-minute objections from some Republicans due to its cost. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the law would add an estimated $195 billion to the federal deficit over a decade.
