Social Security reductions of benefits for Municipal Workers

By Terry Savage on January 24, 2025 | Social Security

The new law that was just passed, that eliminates the reduction of Social Security benefits for those who are receiving government pensions (I believe they call it WIN Tax), do you know when it will take effect ? When should we see our monthly Social Security benefit adjusted ?

Terry Says

If you are currently receiving lower SS benefits, it should happen automatically sometime this year — and retroactive to Jan 1 2024 — a full year ago!
But, if you have not applied for benefits and have earned them, or can claim them on a spouse’s record but have not applied, you should do so now.
