Millions of retired teachers, firefighters, police officers and others with public pensions will be reaping the benefits of the recently passed Social Security Fairness Act sooner than first projected,

After you turn 62, Social Security recalculates your benefits every year you don’t claim benefits. It will take your earnings for the latest year, add that to your record of lifetime earnings and select the 35 years with the highest inflation-adjusted earnings.

Millions of retired public servants are getting a social security boost. The Fairness Act is in motion, and payments are rolling out ahead of schedule.
