WEP/GPO Repeal Payments to Be Issued Soon

The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced yesterday that it will begin issuing retroactive payments in February and increasing monthly payments in April as a result of the recent Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) repeal.

The SSA said those affected by the WEP and GPO should receive any retroactive payments by the end of March. The Social Security Fairness Act, which repealed both provisions, is retroactive to January 2024.

Newly calculated monthly benefits should be reflected in Social Security checks beginning in April.
