Resolve providing for an investigation and study by a special commission relative to the effects of the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset in Massachusetts

This bill establishes a special commission to investigate how the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset affect Massachusetts public employees who receive Social Security benefits. The commission, composed of legislators and the state treasurer, will study these federal rules that reduce benefits for workers with both pensions and Social Security, and explore ways to help affected individuals recover lost funds through the state's deferred compensation plan. Members of the commission will serve without pay but can be reimbursed for expenses, and the group must submit its findings and legislative recommendations by June 27, 2025.
