To clarify, the 15 states where the law was reacted only applied to non-Federal employees. But the WEP and GPO restrictions always applied to retired Federal employees in every state. So, if you are a retired Federal employee, you were subjected to the SS reductions mandated by the old law. The new law will affect Federal retirees in every state.
