Prior to the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act (signed into law Jan. 2025), SURS members who also received Social Security benefits from non-SURS covered employment were subject to the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset. These offsets were repealed through the Act, which became effective for Social Security benefits payable after December 2023.
SURS cannot answer questions about Social Security benefits or the specific impact of the Social Security Fairness Act on your benefits. Social Security benefits are calculated and paid by the Social Security Administration. Visit ssa.gov for more information.
