Social Security recipients anticipating an increase in their benefits under a law passed in the waning days of the Biden administration may need to wait more than a year longer than initially expected to see the higher payments, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The legislation, known as the Social Security Fairness Act, was signed into law earlier this month by former President Joe Biden, who said at the signing that many beneficiaries affected by the measure would begin receiving the extra payments this year.
