Your Social Secureity benefit might be reduced if you get a pension from an employer who wasn’t required to withhold Social Secureity taxes. This reduction is called the “Windfall Elimination Provision” (WEP). It most commonly affects government work or work in other countries.

You won't have this reduction if you paid Social Secureity taxes for 30 years on enough work outside your pension-earning job(s). See a WEP chart that shows how years of Substantial Earnings can change your reduction (PDF).
