Social Security Fairness Act

Jan 3, 2025, 09:19 AM by MOSERS
I understand that the Social Security Fairness Act, which has passed Congress and is awaiting the President's signature, will impact payments for public sector retirees. How will MOSERS retirees be affected?
The federal Social Security Fairness Act, HR 82, concerning the Windfall Elimination Program and Government Pension Offset, eliminates the reduction of Social Security benefits while entitled to public pensions from work not covered by Social Security. At this time, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reports that it is evaluating how to implement HR 82 and that, as more information becomes available, the SSA will provide it on its website, ssa.gov.
