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

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

Affected workers will get higher benefits, and some will receive lump-sum payments for retroactive increases.
