Social Security Fairness Act Signed Into Law
Law Does Not Impact CCCERA Retirement Benefits
The Social Security Fairness Act (HR 82), effective this January, repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), which reduced Social Security benefits for people who also receive public pensions from jobs that did not pay into Social Security.
This legislation does not impact your CCCERA retirement benefit.
