January 8, 2025

Post


On January 5, 2025, President Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act, which repeals two federal laws: 1) the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and 2) the Government Pension Offset (GPO). The implementation of the Act will eliminate the reduction of Social Security benefits while entitled to public pensions from work not covered by Social Security. The Social Security Administration is evaluating how to implement and will provide more information as soon as available.

Changes to your Social Security benefit will not impact your ERSGA pension.

Any questions about your Social Security benefit should be directed to the Social Security Administration. For more information visit: ssa.gov
