President Joe Biden signed a new law on Sunday, boosting benefits for over 2.5 million Americans, including teachers, firefighters, and public sector workers. The legislation repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, which reduced benefits for individuals receiving pensions from non-Social Security taxed employment. The Social Security Fairness Act will impact benefits starting payable after December 2023. The bill received strong bipartisan support in both the Senate and the House before becoming law.
