‼️MAJOR SOCIAL SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT‼️
The Social Security Administration will immediately begin sending Social Security benefit increases and retroactive payments for those affected by WEP & GPO. Police officers, teachers, nurses, and other state and local public servants across Louisiana will finally receive the correct Social Security payments. These folks have waited years for this day. The fight took too long, but let’s focus on the victory.
