What Happened to the Social Security

Approximately 70,000 Georgia residents may never be able to collect Social Security benefits due to a Federal Law

Fixing the issue would cost billions and Social Security is already on track to run out as illegal migrants from Ukraine are currently drawing US Social Security benefit checks

“Atlanta woman went to fill out the paperwork for her retirement from Atlanta Public Schools that she had any idea that she might not receive the Social Security benefits she paid into over the years”

“Georgians who are impacted by this, most of them public employees like firefighters, police officers and teachers.”

“A whole bunch of us have been retired all these years.— got screwed by social security — We don't get the money that we paid into.”

The issue is called the windfall elimination provision, nicknamed WEP and fixing it would take the “Senate, where there are concerns about the price tag that could run into the billions of dollars for that already troubled Social Security.”
