The Social Security Fairness Act has resulted in significant changes, specifically the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). These two provisions had previously limited Social Security benefits for individuals eligible for certain government pensions. With the new law, millions of seniors who had faced benefit reductions may now be entitled to retroactive payments, reversing years of withheld income. Stories from individuals sharing sudden, substantial payments illustrate the impact of these changes for retirees who had previously been marginalized by these rules.
The recent Social Security Fairness Act abolished the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, ensuring millions of seniors receive previously withheld benefits.
Due to the repeal of certain provisions, many retirees, typically penalized for receiving government pensions, may now qualify for retroactive Social Security payments.
