Editor’s note: This is part two of a three-part series about making the most of the changes in Social Security benefits for federal employees brought about by the new Social Security Fairness Act (SSFA). Part one is Five Wins for Federal Employees in the Social Security Fairness Act. Part two is Social Security Fairness Act Adds to Pressure on Safety Net.
Understanding how to strategically leverage the opportunities created by the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) by the new Social Security Fairness Act (SSFA) is essential. The changes open the door for retirees to take full advantage of Social Security benefits while refining their income strategies for optimal long-term financial health.
