Windfall Elimination Provision (W.E.P.) is a legislative provision in United States law which affects benefits paid by the Social Security Administration under Title II of the Social Security Act. The W.E.P. affects how the amount of retirement or disability benefits are calculated if a person received a pension from work where Social Security taxes were not taken out of the pay. At present, if you have a state retirement (STRS, PERS, SERS) but also worked enough in a Social Security covered job to earn Social Security then the Social Security benefit check you earned is significantly reduced by the amount you receive from your state retirement. H.R. 711 has been introduced into Congress as an effort to address this issue. A letter from Congressman David Joyce can be found here. Click on the link below.
