Social Security Fairness Act: These 3 million Americans are eligible for increased benefits as Biden-era law kicks in

Retired teachers, firefighters, and police officers could be among those getting a bump of up to $1,000-plus in their monthly checks.

Finally, some good news from the Social Security Administration (SSA): Over three million retirees and their spouses, including some teachers, firefighters, police officers, and federal employees, will see a bump in their Social Security benefits by the end of the month, thanks to a law President Joe Biden signed before leaving office in January, called the Social Security Fairness Act.
