Celebrating Our Recent Social Security Fairness Act Milestone and What It May Mean for You
Date:
Dear Colleague,
We recently celebrated a key milestone by announcing that we completed sending over 3.1 million payments, totaling $17 billion, to beneficiaries eligible under the Social Security Fairness Act (SSFA), 5 months ahead of schedule. When the SSFA became law on January 5, 2025, we identified about 2.8 million current Social Security beneficiaries whose benefits were reduced because of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) or Government Pension Offset (GPO). To learn what this milestone may mean for your clients, visit our blog.
Please share this important information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
Sincerely,
External Affairs
