Full question: Is my social security benefit wrongly reduced for WEP? I am retired and my benefit subjected for WEP, but there is no totalization agreement with Turkey where I worked before moving to USA. Does WEP still apply?

Hi,

Thank you for the question.

Yes, the WEP rule still applies to if you are receiving a foreign pension and also collecting Social Security based on your earnings for work in the United States.
