Social Security Fairness Act Rules

Updated 04/01/2025

Am I Impacted By The Social Security Fairness Act?

Navigating the changes brought by the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 can be complex, but it’s crucial for your clients’ financial planning. The repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) may increase their benefits and overall income stream.

To help, we’ve created the “Am I Impacted by the Social Security Fairness Act?” flowchart. It addresses key considerations such as:

  • How benefit increases will be applied
  • Potential planning considerations for spousal or survivor benefits
  • The impact on how one pays for Medicare premiums
  • Considerations for retiring sooner
  • The importance of updating contact information

“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the Flow Charts you are providing. Helps me feel a little less crazy as an advisor.”
— Tami C, an advisor in Colorado
“Checklists don't make the planner smarter or more skilled, but do help to ensure that the planner maximizes the knowledge and skill he/she already has.”
— Michael Kitces, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief at Kitces.com
