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.
