Change will impact retirees and public workers, including teachers, firefighters and police officers who also worked in private sector

The Social Security Fairness Act eliminates two provisions that reduced Social Security benefits for some retirees who also received pension income.

Public service workers, including some teachers, firefighters and police officers, may soon see their Social Security payments increase by hundreds of dollars monthly.

We’re extending Social Security benefits for millions of teachers, nurses, and other public and… employees and their spouses and survivors,” said Biden when he signed the Social Security Fairness Act this week.
