National and State Leadership,
The Social Security Fairness Act represents a significant step forward in addressing long-standing inequities in the Social Security system. This legislation repeals two unfair provisions in the Social Security Code, the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which have disproportionately impacted public safety officers and other government employees.
To help our members better understand these important changes and the timeline for implementation, the Fraternal Order of Police has created a comprehensive Questions and Answers guide. This resource provides clear explanations about how the repeal of these provisions will affect you, what to expect moving forward, and how to navigate the updates to your benefits.
