Congress passed the Social Security Fairness Act in late 2024 , which was signed into law by the President in early January 2025 .

The new law repeals two provisions from the 1983 Social Security reforms: the government pension offset and the windfall elimination provision.

Affected workers will receive higher benefits, and some may be eligible for lump-sum payments.
