Social Security Bill

[Fd 1981]

A Social Security Bill has passed the Senate. It says that it will provide an increase for first responders. Does anyone have any info on this and when we might see an increase ?

Social Security Fairness Act of 2023

This bill repeals provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who receive other benefits, such as a pension from a state or local government.

The bill eliminates the government pension offset, which in various instances reduces Social Security benefits for spouses, widows, and widowers who also receive government pensions of their own.

The bill also eliminates the windfall elimination provision, which in some instances reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes.

Potentially increases payments to those who had their benefit reduced due to pension conflicts. Not a blanket increase. Only those affected.
