The Windfall Elimination Provision affects the amount of Social Security benefit you receive as pension from work where Social Security taxes were not taken out of your pay such as Federal Employees. For what appears to be an arbitraty selection of effective beginning date, those previous to that date are not effected by this provision.
This provision is unfair and discriminatory. Some people are effected by it and otherse who have identical qualification are forced to have their allotment reduced. The provision even carries over to the spouse once the spouse qualifies for benefits based on the former government employees. Many of those effected have served decades and this provision punishes them for their years of Government service
