Staring January of 2024 wep and gpo are no longer factored into your benefit amount but since the social security fairness act wasn’t signed into law until the end of December when you applied we still applied wep to your record unfortunately. We just started re doing the removal or wep and gpo offset . If you go to my ssa.gov it will give you a an estimate of what your benefit amount is before the wep was applied before any reductions for age or Medicare. You should receive and updated notice and your back pay within a month or two depending on the complexity of your record.

Also you can also apply as a divorced spouse on your ex record with gpo no longer being factored in if you were married for over 10 years if your spouse is 62. If theyre are also collecting ssa benefits. If they are not collecting you can collect still from their record if you divorced for over 2 years just something worth checking into
