The SSA has said it has finished making back payments and increasing ongoing benefits under the law repealing the former government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions, ahead of a schedule that until recently projected that the work would continue until near year’s end.
“As of July 7, 2025, we completed sending over 3.1 million payments, totaling $17 billion,” the SSA said, adding as it had in the past that “Anyone whose monthly benefit is adjusted, or who will get a past due payment, will receive a mailed notice from Social Security explaining the benefit change or past due payment.”
