The hearing of the House Social Security Subcommittee is going on at the moment. It can be viewed over the internet. The witness statements are available at the Subcommittee website. The hearing appears to be a grab bag, with much discussion of the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), but also discussion of the five month waiting period for Disability Insurance Benefits, the 24 month waiting period for Medicare, the recent proposal for procedural changes in Social Security adjudication and various plans for improving a wide variety of types of Social Security benefits.
