Social Security Fairness Act application

[RobertR580646]

I am 71 years old and worked for the Post Office for over 30 years. I am collecting a government pension and was not eligible for spousal benefits due to GPO.I do have an online SS account and used the online calculator on the site to determine my ineligibility, so I never filed a formal application. Since the SS Fairness Act was passed, should I apply for benefits now, or wait until the SS admin updates the application process for people who only now have become eligible?

Maybe he will forget !  OH, that’s right, he has others that will remind him or guide his hand.  And they don’t care either.

Not yet. Saw a video explains why Biden hasn’t signed yet. This person opinion. Sounds credible. Saying Biden will sign between Christmas and New Year. Making a statement of showing public what Democrats have done for us, and to one up on Trump. Hopefully will actually sign. I’m affected by the GPO. Widow’s Benefit  drastically cut.
