Retired public sector employees entitled to retroactive payments and upward adjustments to their current benefits will have to wait longer than expected to see the additional money. Former President Biden stated at the signing ceremony of the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 that the benefits would be paid in 2025. However, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is unsure when the additional past and present benefits will be delivered. Some reports suggest that the delay could be as long as a year if not more.
