Full question: My Social Security payments are reduced by a pension I receive from a school I worked for in the UK, which is outside the USA Social Security system. Will the Repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) affect my situation?

Hi there,

Yes, repeal of the WEP rule applies to non-covered foreign pensions. You are most likely eligible to receive higher Social Security benefits going forward, and possibly retroactive to January 2024.

The Social Security Administration is currently working on implementation timing and procedure details to enact the new law. Potential beneficiaries should ensure their information is up to date via their MySocialSecurity account on SSA.gov for seamless processing. Also, we recommend that you keep up to date on further details by visiting the SSA Social Security Fairness Act webpage here. For personalized support, you can work with an RSSA here.

Warmly,
Martha
