I am divorced and have part of a federal pension. I have my own earned social security benefit. Am I subject to the wep or gpo?

Hi. Your federal pension could only cause the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) or Government Pension Offset (GPO) provision to affect your Social Security benefits if the federal pension is based on your own work and earnings that were exempt from Social Security taxes.

Our software is fully programmed to handle benefit computations involving WEP and/or GPO, so it sounds like you should strongly consider using our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to fully compare and analyze all of your options so that you can determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
