  • President Joe Biden signed a bill on Sunday that will repeal two laws previously preventing many public employees from receiving Social Security benefits.

President Joe Biden has signed a new law that will benefit certain federal government workers by allowing them to remain in the Social Security system. This legislation, known as the Social Security Fairness Act, repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions previously reduced or eliminated Social Security benefits for many public sector employees, such as teachers, police officers, and firefighters, who also receive pensions from non-Social Security covered employment. The new law aims to correct what many saw as an unfair penalty, ensuring that these workers receive their full Social Security benefits, thereby providing financial relief and fairness to approximately 2.8 million affected individuals.
