Here is the SSA Actuary's analysis of the above subject legislation.
"The Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act of 2018,โ introduced on September 27, 2018 by Rep Kevin Brady (R-Tx) - the one who has been trying year after year to find a new formula, perhaps one that is more fair.
Even if it passes (doubtful, IMO) some might win a bit but others are still gonna lose.
SSA Analysis of Rep. Kevin Brady's "The Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act of 2018"
The WEP will never be eliminated because the old way was very incorrect in how it determined the benefit - a totally new formula would have to be legislated as all of his proposed legislation has tried to do - even then there will be winners and losers.
The best and easiest way to end this is for civil employees with a pension to begin paying into the SS system. Most likely, if they still want to get a pension from their government employer, these civil employees will have to pay in both parts to the SS system (employee and employer) because the government employer will not do both - pension and SS match.
