In United States tax law, the windfall elimination provision is a regulation that aims to prevent retirees from receiving more Social Security benefits than they are entitled to, based on their payments into the Social Security system during their working years.
If the employee also worked under Social Security through other employment, his Social Security benefit will be smaller under the Windfall Elimination Provision. Under this provision, his Social Security benefit computation is different from the standard method and could reduce his benefit up to $380.50 monthly.
