1. Your OP says "just robbed seniors". Typo(s)? or what am I missing? How is robbing seniors good?

[senseandsensibility]

4. I tried to clarify.

Hope it's clear now. The bill he signed gets rid of the policy that robbed seniors.

5. Thanks. It is clearer now that it is a good thing and thus I rec'd it. . . . nt

2. I have no idea

What this is referring to

3. Not sure. Seniors were being robbed prior because of the offset.

Just because someone has a federal or state pension and also paid into Social Security should not mean that they're taking away from seniors who only had Social Security to fall back on? That's what the current system seems to do; punish seniors who also paid into pensions as well as Social Security.
I can see offsetting my Military Pension and my Federal Civilian pension that also counts the years I was in the Military, if I did not pay off my Military Pension time before I retired the Feds (that's actually double-dipping if I didn't pay it), but not the Social Security I paid into over the years.

Other than that, not quite sure what that last part was about. Must be a typo, I've done that before

6. So It can't be repealed because it went through congress?

[senseandsensibility]

7. It passed both houses

with bipartisan support and the President signed it.

8. WEP and GPO repeal.

Are you sure about that ?. All the updates I’ve seen indicate that he will sign it on Sunday 1/5 (tomorrow) at 4 PM.

9. That's the info that I see also. I cannot wait until it's signed.

The WEP has affected me since I retired in 2018 by taking 50%.

10. I am deleting

Looks like I jumped the gun a little. But he will sign it!
