Retired public workers will get check adjustments and retro pay under the recently signed Social Security Fairness Act.

President Biden signed legislation into law over the weekend to expand Social Security benefits for droves of Americans. The measure, dubbed the Social Security Fairness Act, repeals two tax rules that proponents say have unfairly reduced benefits for many Americans who also receive government pensions.

Teachers, firefighters, police and others who earn a separate pension for government work will now get their full Social Security benefits.
