On January 6, 2025, President Joe Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act which eliminates the reduction of Social Security benefits for some Teacher Retirement System (TRS) retirees.
The bill repeals provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who receive other benefits, such as a state or local government pension, including the Teacher Retirement System. The provisions eliminated are:
TRS retirees who were subject to a reduction of Social Security benefits will now be allowed to collect full benefits. A November report from the Congressional Research Service projects the monthly benefit will increase by an average of $360 per month and impact 2.8 million recipients nationwide. Payments will be retroactive as of January 2024.
Retirees who previously filed for Social Security benefits should verify their contact information in their online Social Security account. Those receiving TRS annuity and interested in filing for benefits may file online on the Social Security Administration website or schedule an appointment. Additional information and updates can be found on the Social Security Fairness Act webpage.
