DEWEPED


i would like the think these people
joe biden for signing the bill
the house of representatives who overwhelming passed the bill
the senate who also overwhelmingly passed the bill

what bill are you talking about

the bill that eliminated the windfall elimination provision or wep and the government pension offset or gpo

its called the social security fairness act

whats that you say

about 40 years ago congress and i think it was raegan got the idea to save social security money so they decided if certain groups received a state or federal pension then the social security they would received would be offset by the amount of social security they received.
for many if not most they got zero from social security

here is an example
my wife she

she paid in 18 years into the social security kitty
she also taught school for 17 years but her school didnt pay into social security  
most wives like her could draw off their social security or off their spouses social security
whichever is the best for them

eg
based on my earnings she when she retired would get $15000 a year
based on her 18 years in the social security system she could get $12000

so she would chose the $15000 based off my earnings

however
she is school teacher
she gets a teacher retirement so they do this calculation called an offset 
when you do the calculation she ends up with $4000
some teachers we know get a zero amount of their social security 

this inequity has finally been fixed thanks to those folks above
its hard to believe there was such bipartisan support

now
my wife she will be getting 
$15000  based on my social security 
plus she gets back pay for 2024

when i die she now will get $30000 a year
before the deweped was done she would have gotten only $12000 a year

so far my wife she had lost $75000 in lost social security prior to this new law
many lost all of theirs

others so affected are policeman firemen teachers city employees county employees and others
about 3 million folks each year

its about time the dewepeding was done
