Patrice Earnest, 66, expected more benefits from Social Security after her husband's death, but learned she receives $0 due to her work history.
Critics argue that the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset unfairly slash retirement funds for those with mixed public and private sector employment.
Supporters claim these provisions prevent public servants from receiving overly generous benefits, protecting the integrity of Social Security for those who contributed fully.
Many middle-class workers, especially those who have dedicated time to public service jobs, find their retirement plans disrupted due to these unexpected Social Security cuts.
