Back Payments Following GPO-WEP Repeal Now Finished, SSA Says

The SSA has said it has finished making back payments and increasing ongoing benefits under the law repealing the former government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions, ahead of a schedule that until recently projected that the work would continue until near year’s end.

“As of July 7, 2025, we completed sending over 3.1 million payments, totaling $17 billion,” the SSA said, adding as it had in the past that “Anyone whose monthly benefit is adjusted, or who will get a past due payment, will receive a mailed notice from Social Security explaining the benefit change or past due payment.”
