The Social Security Fairness Act is an important bill.

The WEP and GPO were created to avoid double-dipping, but often penalized dedicated public service employees.

On February 2025, the Social Security Administration (SSA) started sending retroactive payments.

Recipients will also see increased monthly benefits starting from April 2025. That translates into a reliable income boost for retirees.

While the news is positive, beneficiaries need to be aware of potential tax implications.

Moving GPO and WEP out of the loophole draws mixed responses.

Going forward, the Social Security Fairness Act establishes an important foundation for future reforms.
