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.
Your benefit can be reduced based on one of two provisions: the Windfall Elimination Provision, which applies to any benefits you may be eligible for on your own Social Security record, and Government Pension Offset, which applies to any benefits you may be entitled to as a divorced spouse.
