evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently verified. The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82, 118th Congress) fully repealed BOTH the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset - the exact outcome promised. Wikipedia (directly fetched) confirms it eliminated both provisions, passed the House 327-75 on Nov. 12, 2024 and the Senate 76-20 on Dec. 21, 2024, and was signed into law by President Biden on Jan. 5, 2025 (323 House cosponsors). Rep. Angie Craig was a cosponsor of H.R. 82 and voted for it; her office stated she 'helped lead a bipartisan coalition to pass the Social Security Fairness Act through the House.' Because the promised outcome was 100% enacted into law with Craig's cosponsorship and support, FULL (+1.0) is correct - CHAMPIONED would be a downgrade reserved for leading an effort that did not fully land. Fairness check: a Republican cosponsor of this genuinely bipartisan, enacted bill would receive the identical FULL, so no partisan asymmetry. Note: congress.gov, house.gov, govtrack, and legiscan returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches (routine bot-blocking, not evidence the sources are fake); their content was corroborated via search aggregation and the directly-fetched Wikipedia article.
