The Social Security Fairness Act would repeal the so-called “government pensions offset,” or GPO, which reduces Social Security spousal or widow(er) benefits for those who receive noncovered pensions, according to the Social Security Administration’s website.

The summary also says the bill also eliminates the so-called “windfall elimination provision” that “in some instances reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes.”

Such pensions are paid by employers — typically, state and local governments or non-U.S. employers — that do not withhold Social Security taxes from employee salaries.
