Gratefully, Kathy



Hi Kathy,

The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) was added to the Social Security law by Congress in the 1980s, and various bills have been floated in Congress in virtually every Congressional session since that time. None of those bills has even come close to being passed by Congress, so I would be very surprised if the WEP provision is ever changed in any substantial manner.

Best, Jerry
