Columbus Acquisition Corp Ordinary SharesColumbus Acquisition Corp Ordinary SharesThe Social Security Fairness Act, signed into law in January 2025, repealed the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset, restoring benefits for roughly 2.7 million retirees and surviving spouses. The repeal is retroactive to benefits payable from January 2024 and primarily helps teachers, police, firefighters, and municipal workers who split careers between covered and non-covered jobs. The Windfall Elimination Provision had reduced benefits for about 2 million beneficiaries, while the Government Pension Offset affected around 717,000 people. Affected retirees should confirm the Social Security Administration recalculated their benefit by July 2025 and revisit tax withholding, as higher Social Security income can increase federal tax exposure.
