Historic News for CTA Members: Social Security Fairness Act Passes!

We are excited to share a historic update that impacts all CTA members and retirees.

In a remarkable bipartisan effort, the U.S. Senate has officially passed H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act—a monumental step toward repealing the unjust Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO).

In this brief recording from Gary Allen, Senior Financial Advisor with the CTA 403(b), you’ll learn:

• What the repeal means for current retirees and future retirees
• How this change will restore full Social Security benefits for affected CTA members
• The expected timeline for retroactive payments and benefit adjustments

This victory represents fairness, recognition, and financial relief for educators and public servants who have long awaited this change.

Here’s to a brighter, more secure future for all CTA members!
