Empty Promises: Why we won’t get what we put into Social Security
2024-07-25 16:00 - 18:00
What you can do to get back your hard-earned money

Join CEA Vice President Joslyn DeLancey for a discussion on why we need to repeal WEP/GPO and what you can do to help.
ICYMI: The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) are penalties that negatively impact educators and others who may or may not participate in Social Security system and receive pensions from municipal government agencies. While employment as a Connecticut educator is not included in Social Security, second jobs, previous employment, and spousal contributions are significantly reduced by these provisions.
