The American Expat Financial News Journal (October 9, 2022)
Proposed legislation would address the ‘Expat Retirement Surprise’, but some say SS solvency concerns could keep it from passing…and just-revealed setback to bill’s progress has sparked calls for a write-in campaign by American Citizens Abroad
"According to ACA executive director Marylouise Serrato, in order to get the bill back onto the calendar for a House vote, a “discharge petition” has been filed, which the Washington, DC-based ACA noted “needs 218 votes to pass.” (Currently, according to a website page which tracks the progress of this petition, the petition has just 24 signatures.)
In response, ACA has launched a write-in campaign calling for the repeal of WEP,” in order to help get the needed signatures for the discharge petition in time to ensure a House vote can go ahead."
