On January 5, 2025, President Biden signed into law The Social Security Fairness Act, which repealed the Windfall Elimination Provision (“WEP”) and Government Pension Offset (“GPO”) provisions of Social Security. This law has a retroactive effective date of January 1, 2024, which means that the Social Security Administration (“SSA”) will be required to recalculate benefits for anyone impacted during 2024.
