The bill would
Eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which reduces Social Security benefits for certain retired and disabled workers who receive pensions for work that is not covered by the Social Security system
Eliminate the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which reduces Social Security benefits for certain spouses and surviving spouses who receive pensions for work that is not covered by the Social Security system
Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from
Paying larger Social Security benefits to people who are subject to the WEP and the GPO under current law
Reducing benefits paid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in response to the larger
Social Security benefits paid to some people who receive benefits through both programs
Areas of significant uncertainty include
Predicting how many people will be subject to the WEP and the GPO under current law
Projecting the size of benefit reductions attributable to the WEP and the GPO under current law
