Social Security recipients face over a year wait for adjusted benefits due to staffing and funding issues.

The Social Security Administration warns that beneficiaries of the Social Security Fairness Act, including millions of retired public sector workers, may face over a year of wait time for their adjusted benefits. The law, aimed at increasing benefits for those with public pensions, did not provide additional funding or staff for the SSA, leading to delays. The agency faces further strain due to a hiring freeze, impacting service for all Social Security recipients.
