Windfall Elimination Provision
The Windfall Elimination Provision affects how the amount of a Social Security retirement or disability benefit is calculated if you receive a pension from the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). A modified formula is used to calculate the benefit amount, resulting in a lower Social Security benefit.
The Social Security Administration provides a publication that outlines the effects of federal service covered by the Civil Service Retirement System after 1956 on Social Security benefits. That publication can be found at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10045.pdf.
