Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset are repealed for the 2026 blueprint (Fairness Act era per treatise). Ignore as live law.
WEP and GPO (repealed) in plain English
A public-pension retiree still sees practice questions that slash Social Security under the old Windfall Elimination Provision or Government Pension Offset. For the 2026 blueprint (Fairness Act era per the treatise), WEP and GPO are repealed and should be ignored as live law. Reducing a public-pensioner's Social Security for WEP is Stale Law. If an answer choice still applies those offsets as current rules, discard it even when the fact pattern still mentions a government pension.
