The Repeal of WEP and GPO: A Significant Change in Social Security
In recent developments, two contentious provisions affecting millions of public sector employees have been officially repealed by Congress. The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) have been part of the Social Security framework for decades, disproportionately impacting workers like teachers, firefighters, and police officers. The repeal of these provisions through the Social Security Fairness Act represents a momentous shift in policy, promising improved financial support for retirees.
