Social Security Fairness Act

Dear Friends.
Our outgoing president, Joe Biden, passed a very beneficial bill for millions of Americans.
The Social Security Fairness Act
The bipartisan bill was designed to help teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other employees receiving government pensions to allow full social security benefits (if applicable)
Pre-2025, workers with state or federal pensions had a reduced social security payout because of their state/government pension plans. This was called the Windfall elimination provision.
Over the last 30 years, millions of Americans with federal and/or state jobs may have worked part-time in the private sector to help pay bills, etc.
Those wages were taxed by social security, but the benefit will never be received due to their respective government pension.
This new law change will affect 2 million retired public servants and 750,000 spouses and survivors receiving reduced Social Security Benefits.
Since this law was a huge change to millions of Americans and requires research on behalf of the Social Security Administration, it will take some time to determine individual benefit adjustments.
Stay tuned
Chris
