The Social Security Fairness Act is a United States law that repealed the Social Security Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision.

[3] In the United States, Social Security offers government-sponsored Retirement Insurance Benefits to retired individuals that have reached 40 quarters of work, following the Average Indexed Monthly Earnings formula; this is generally applicable to all workers, but there are some exceptions.

[4] Indeed, over fears that the system would run out of money in 1983, however,[5] Congress passed the Social Security Amendments of 1983, which created the Windfall Elimination Provision, which reduces the benefit formula for those with a non-covered pension as well as qualified for social security benefits.

The amendments made by this Act shall apply with respect to monthly insurance benefits payable under title II of the Social Security Act for months after December 2023.

Notwithstanding section 215(f) of the Social Security Act, the Commissioner of Social Security shall adjust primary insurance amounts to the extent necessary to take into account the amendments made by section 3.

The bill was introduced multiple times in various Congresses before its final passage in December 2024.
