NARFE information about the WEP/GPO Repeal

On December 21, 2024, the U.S. Senate passed H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, to repeal the windfall elimination provision (WEP) and the government pension offset (GPO). Congressional passage of the bill is a historic victory for the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE), which has been advocating for repeal of WEP and GPO for 40 years.

On April 15, 2025, the Social Security Administration (SSA) issued an update regarding the timing of retroactive payments and adjusted monthly benefits for beneficiaries who were impacted by the WEP and the GPO.  Information is available from our national website.
