Social Security Benefits Set To Be Expanded for Millions

[k0rs]

17. Me too

I worked for city municipal government for 28 years but paid into SS before that. I'm hoping that it means about $400~500 a month for me. I've been cheated on my SS for almost 10 years. 2024 is recoverable but unfortunately the rest is not. Nevertheless this is huge for my fixed income. I'm another who never thought I'd see this happen.

I stopped by my DR's office a few days ago and was chatting with the office personnel. They had never heard of WEP. Most folks haven't. I don't know how this got passed originally, it had to be by stealth. There should have been a massive outcry from the people that were affected. It's a huge rip-off. They have the nerve to call a few extra hundred a month (that one has actually earned) a "windfall." Another Repug scam on working people.

Helluva way to start 2025. Hallelujah is right.
