WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) joined the Ways and Means Committee to advance three bills to the House floor that support America's workers.

The SECURE Act, a variant of the Retirement Enhancement and Savings Act which Congressman Boyle cosponsors, would improve retirement security for Americans who work at small businesses.

The BRIDGE for Workers Act would help unemployed Americans access re-employment services.

Finally, the Taxpayer First Act, which Congressman Boyle also cosponsors, would make it easier for taxpayers to get their questions answered by the IRS and give them additional protections in the collections process. Upon advancement of the bills, Congressman Boyle released the following statement:

"I'm proud to join the Ways and Means Committee to advance three bills so critical for working families. These bills illustrate the Democratic Majority's committment to expanding opportunity and making the system work for the people. I am proud to serve on a committee that allows me to champion theese issues for the City of Philadelphia"

All three bills may now move to the House floor for consideration by the full chamber. Congressman Boyle is a member of the Select Revenue Measures, Social Security, and Oversight subcommittees of the House Ways and Means Committee.
