When I qualified for SS in 2007, the WEP was immediately applied. The WEP is a formula. Why can’t it simply be removed? What I was supposed to receive is knowable. Why can’t SS just pay me that?
Why are they insisting it needs to be done manually, don't they trust their computers? No one that I know of does this kind of thing manually in today's world, and there should be no reason for the SSA to insist that it be done manually. This type of work is made for computer use. It should not be done manually, that is where mistakes are usually made. In some unusual cases, someone checking the results might be necessary, but in the majority of cases the computer results are quick and accurate. Before I retired, we handled very complex problems with our company computers and mistakes were almost non-existent. The SSA should be able to finish this quicker then they are indicating is necessary.
When I filed for my SS at age 62, it didn't take them 5 min. to determine the amount that would be deducted from my benefit due to the WEP, yet it is going to take a year to reverse it. What a joke.
The mechanisms are already in place to calculate benefits. It should be 'quicker' now that GPO is not applied. The only time-consuming task will be re-calculating some beneficiaries benefits and paying them the difference.
I’m currently being ripped off by the WEP law, I might add, “ Big Time “ So, Will the SS Administration notify me by mail? To let me know what my New Monthly payment?
Likely wil get a "letter" of some sort, but down the road may be a YEAR ?? Yeah that sucks, but me not so much as only get $250 (40Q) a month . 35 Yr FAA pension saves my *** . . .
WEP adjusted your benefits because you had not complied with the requirement to become eligible for the 90% adjustment. HR82 validate your irresponsibility
There are 60,000 Social Security Administration employees. If just 30,000 of them process the 3,000,000 WPE/GPO changes at 2 per work day they could get people their much needed money in a little over 50 work days, NOT THE ONE YEAR THEY ARE PROPOSING.

If they don’t start paying until the end of the year then the back pay will be for 2 years , 2024 and 2025. I think it would be fair if they would back pay the full amount that they shorted everyone all the way from the retirement date that social security pay started. Now that makes sense , full back pay not just going back to 2024.
Yes that would be fair, but the law during those years included the WEP & GPO. So the SSA was just going by the law. As the law was changed now, they are required to pay the amount of the full benefit since the day the law was written, which results in a back pay of about a year.

Have to fight with the big computer to reliably figure it out.
@@SandfordSmythe But they applied the WEP immediately, but will take a year to figure out how to simply remove it? Doesn't make sense.
I call it the Social Security "Fairness" Act.
All we can do is wait.

It’s done on a Computer

USAF 10 Yrs ATC + FAA 25 Yrs CSRS ATC = I'm Good . . .
Why did you even do a video if you have no new information? Been seeing that a lot on this channel lately. "Well, we simply don't know..."
They’ve been stealing part of my benefit for 7 years.

They are lying to us. They could do it all in about 50 work days.

These new people popping up don’t know anything. Just trying to get their sites out there and make a little money
