As you describe it ..yes. You 'Would' have received a reduced SS check. Your statement, "I would think we should get full SS since we both have fully contributed" is what workers have been saying for the last (40 years?) of the WEP injustice. WEP would only apply to those who retired prior to January 6th when it was repealed. From here on out, those who retire will get the full benefit. As an example, WEP deducted over 500.00 from my SS payment. My deduction as well as many others, went to support the SS fund all these years  'I am the danger'...Hiesenberg NRA Certified Pistol Instructor NRA Certified Rifle Instructor NRA Life Member | |||

Thank you. Yeah that is messed up that I contribute in every paycheck, yet I would get a reduced amount just for getting a pension. I could make 2-3 times more if I didn’t have a government job. The trade off is the benefits. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

That is what passed, if you did not put in the 10 yrs into SS you are not eligible. I also put in my quarters and then some. But when I retired and started collecting they began to pay me an amount. They then said I was over paid because of the WEP. For two years I received no SS because they calculated incorrectly and had to pay that back. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

If under the CSRS retirement system (old), no. If under FERS (new), yes. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

My hypocrisy goes only so far |
I’m glad to see this pass. As a retired state employee collecting a full pension as well as having worked and paid my 40 quarters plus , being reduced simply because I worked a job that offered a pension for 31yrs makes no sense. If you worked your 40 quarters paying into SS you deserve it. My wife on the other hand doesn’t have her 40 qtr in. She’s been teaching her entire post college career so she doesn’t have any SS benefits coming. As it should be. U.S.M.C. VFW-8054 III% "Never let a Wishbone grow where a Backbone should be "  | |||

Grumpy, you've got mail. | |||

I am curious if anyone has any inside information as to when the adjustment to Social Security benefits will be made for those that are impacted by the passing and signing of the Social Security Fairness act. | |||
