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.
The first is the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), and the second is called Government Pension Offset (GPO). The WEP affects someone who receives a public pension, but who, like you, also has worked under the Social Security system long enough to accumulate 40 Social Security quarters/credits. The good news is that anyone who has accumulated 40 credits will absolutely collect 'something' each month from Social Security, says Czarnowski.
