Re: Tsunami's Account Talk
"I'm in the same boat Norm. I've been holding off filing for SS because there was a chance WEP might pass; but the politicians decided to screw that up for us at the last minute. So, it looks like we're back at square one until the amount of WEP can be agreed upon. NARFE has worked for a 50% penalty elimination for CSRS folks, but at the last minute some craphead wrote 14% into the bill and everything was tabled. My guess, nothing will happen. Oh well, the good news is my existing benefit just continues to go up.

What actually happened was that the "rest of the public service folks" ie: State and County employee unions took exception to the idea that they should be covered by the WEP and talked to their congressional people about it and the elected representatives had to go back and revisit how they were going to consider voting on this WEP change.
WEP affects anyone who pays into Social Security and gets another kind of public pension.
