🚨 Social Security Fairness Act: Big Changes for Retirees! 🚨
Just a quick refresher—the Social Security Fairness Act was signed into law by President Biden on January 5th, 2025. This law repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), bringing higher Social Security benefits to millions of retirees, including teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public servants who were hit hard by these outdated rules.
But here’s the real game-changer:
➡️ Retroactive payments are now set to go out by the end of March 2025!
➡️ Monthly benefit increases will begin in April 2025!
➡️ 3.2 million retirees are impacted by this monumental update.
These changes are a huge win for public servants who’ve been affected for decades. If this impacts you or someone you know, stay informed and be prepared!
