Social Security Fairness Act: Big Change in 2025

The Social Security Fairness Act represents one of the most significant changes to Social Security benefits in recent years. Here's what you need to know about how it could impact your retirement planning.

## What Changed

The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) have been key provisions affecting millions of retirees, particularly those who worked in both public and private sectors.

## Who Is Affected

If you receive a pension from work not covered by Social Security (such as some government jobs), this change could significantly increase your Social Security benefits.

## What to Do Next

Contact your financial advisor to review your retirement projections in light of these changes. The impact could be substantial for affected individuals.
