Will Receiving A Percentage Of My Ex-Husband's Pension Cause My Social Security Benefits To Be Reduced By WEP?

I was awarded 47% of my ex husbands pension in our divorce. Will my social security be reduced by wep?



Hi. No. Only pensions that are based on your OWN work and earnings can cause your Social Security benefits to be reduced due to the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP).

Best, Jerry
