80 years ago, the first Social Security check was issued.  In marking the anniversary, 5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes says she supports the Social Security 2100 Act.  It would expand benefits for current and future recipients, cut taxes for over 10 million seniors, and keep the system solvent for the rest of the century. 

She also backs the Social Security Fairness Act to eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset.  Hayes says this will ensure benefits for millions of Americans who have devoted their careers to public service. 

Hayes also voted in support of the Comprehensive CREDIT Act.  It's aimed at correcting errors.  Hayes says right now consumers have little recourse when reports are incorrect.  She added that the security clearance, duty status or potential promotion of a servicemember may be in jeopardy because of incorrect information on a credit report. 

According to the Office of Servicemember Affairs, between April 2017 and August 2018, 52-percent of complaints submitted by service members were about incorrect information on their reports.
