Neil Downing, a columnist for The Providence Journal, writes again about the unfairness to older workers of Rhode Island's law offsetting unemployment benefits for social security benefits. He reports on House hearings on a measure (H5296) that would end the Social Security offset, which follows Senate passage of a similar bill (S0161). "No one spoke in opposition, but there were several supporters, including the AARP, a membership organization for people 50 and older."
