The Senate's approval of H.R. 82 marks the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), a long-standing Social Security obstacle that unfairly reduced benefits for many Americans overseas.

Tune in to understand why this repeal is essential for expatriates and how combined effort led to this landmark change. Plus, join the conversation on future tax reforms and how vital organizations like AARO are driving change for expats worldwide."
