Social Security Fairness Act

On January 5, 2025, President Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act (Act) into law that repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset. The repealed provisions reduced or eliminated Social Security benefits for individuals who also received a retirement benefit from an employer that did not pay into Social Security. TMRS benefit payments are not impacted by Social Security benefits or the Act.  

The best source for information on how this change in the law may affect your Social Security benefit is the Social Security Administration (SSA). For details about the Act, visit the SSA website or call the SSA at 800-772-1213.
