Over three million retirees who worked in the public sector, or are entitled to spousal or surviving spousal benefits, will see delays as the SSA manually adjusts benefits as a result of the Social Security Fairness Act.

The Social Security Administration is warning that Americans affected by the Social Security Fairness Act may need to be patient.

More than 3.2 million people will see increased Social Security benefits, under a new law. However, individuals who are affected may have to wait more than a year before they see the extra money that’s due to them from the Social Security Fairness Act,

Social Security beneficiaries who stood to see a boost in payouts as the result of a law approved earlier this month may have to wait a little longer than expected for higher payments.
