Why an Audit is Necessary
The Social Security Administration processes millions of adjustments. Historically, "manual computation" cases (like retroactive WEP/GPO repeals) take 12-18 months to normalize. Our audit tool helps you verify the exact lump-sum check you should expect.
2024 Retroactivity
The law covers the full 2024 calendar year, providing a substantial retroactive payment for those already retired.
Immediate Increase
Stop the monthly "penalties" on your next check and see your permanent benefit increase reflected instantly.
Survivor Benefit Reset
GPO repeal specifically targets widow/widower benefits, restoring dignity and financial security.
