Fairness Act status (2026)
Caution
Policy and implementation details can change. This page is intentionally cautious and is not an official government source.
What this means for the calculator
If laws or SSA rules change, your WEP impact could change. That’s why the calculator includes a toggle: “Show scenario if WEP is fully removed.” This is a what-if comparison, not a prediction.
How to verify your situation
- Check your latest SSA statement (benefit estimate before WEP adjustments).
- Confirm if your pension is from non-covered work (not paying Social Security taxes).
- Ask SSA or a qualified professional about your specific case.
Why we avoid definitive claims here
Because search snippets and social media often oversimplify policy changes. We aim to keep this tool trustworthy: educational, privacy-first, and clear about limitations.
