Bill overview
The Social Security Fairness Act aims to increase Social Security benefits for certain individuals by repealing two provisions that currently reduce payments. Specifically, it eliminates the ‘Government Pension Offset,’ which reduces survivor benefits for those receiving government pensions, and the ‘Windfall Elimination Provision,’ which reduces benefits for those with pensions from employers that didn’t withhold Social Security taxes. These changes are scheduled to take effect for benefits paid starting in December 2021.
