The Social Security Fairness Act was signed into law by then-President Joe Biden on Jan. 5 and eliminated policies known as the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension (Offset) Those policies reduced or eliminated Social Security benefits for more than 3.2 million people who receive a pension for work that wasn't covered by Social Security because they didn't pay Social Security taxes.

Some individuals may see only a very small increase, while others may be eligible for over $1,000 more each month.
