A new bill, called the Social Security Fairness Act, was just signed into law and will increase payments for nearly 3 million current and former public employees. As Peter with Richon Planning explains to Erin Kennedy, the law repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset, which limited benefits for recipients with other pensions.

That means teachers, firefighters and police officers, among other public-sector occupations, will soon receive benefits in the full amount.

If you think you may be eligible for the Social Security Fairness Act benefits, please reach out to Peter to talk through the changes you can expect. You can set up a complimentary appointment by calling (919) 300-5886 or visit www.RichonPlanning.com
