Big News for Government Employees: Social Security Just Got a Major Boost!

If you’re a teacher, firefighter, police officer, or any other public sector worker who receives a pension, a new law could significantly increase your Social Security benefits.

In this video, we dig into the details of how this change affects government employees, including how millions of teachers, nurses, and other public sector workers could see an average increase of $360 a month in their Social Security benefits. We also discuss the retroactive payouts for 2024 and what this means for you, your spouse, and survivors.
