The SSA has fulfilled the SS Fairness Act for me already

[Joe Nation]

Not only did they send me full amount of my WEP reduced monthly payment from 2024, they also increased my monthly payment by 40%. People complain about the slow service and long wait times experienced through the SSA but my experience has been that they are very prompt and competent. I guess I just expected worse and got the best.

Has anyone else qualified for and received their back payments and updated monthly payments yet? I have only been on SS since my birthday in October. My spouse will not begin collecting SS for another three years. As I said, my SS payment was reduced by 40% due to my state pension and the WEP and my spouse wasn't even going to bother with her SS money because it was reduced to almost nothing due to her state pension. Now she can look forward to around another $1,000 a month when she starts collecting SS.

1. I did about three weeks ago and the monthly increase begins in April.

4. Is it Legit

Older family member says they got the same, But never received anything in writing from SSA about it. Without it being in writing they are concerned about future "clawbacks". What are your thoughts?

5. No one is clawing back anything

The law was very specific about when(Jan '24) and what will be received by exactly which recipients. It's a done deal.
