Understand How You are Affected:

The Government Pension Offset and the Windfall Elimination Provision are penalties that negatively affect retirees who receive pensions from government agencies that do not participate in the Social Security system.

Many of these retirees have earned Social Security retirement benefits from other work during their lifetimes or for being an eligible spouse. The GPO and WEP cut or totally eliminate their earned Social Security retirement benefits.

Public employees affected by GPO & WEP:

  • Teachers in 15 states—AK, CA, CO, CT, GA, IL, KY, LA, MA, ME, MO, NV, OH, RI, TX.
  • State, County, City and special district employees in 26 states.
  • Federal employees who are on the CSRS retirement system in every state.
  • Foreign pension earners who also qualify for Social Security.

The National WEP/GPO Repeal Task Force

In three years the Task Force has grown into the most effective nationwide grassroots support for Congressional repeal of the unfair Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset.  Comprised of retirees from across the country and taking advantage of a large Facebook page and the CalRTA email system, as well as our Social Security Fairness email Alerts and website, we have been able to support the very successful growth in the number of H.R. 82 co-signers.
