H.R.711 - Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act of 2015
Is proposing to calculate WEP using data of income to correct what is claimed to be a general over compensation of WEP.
The bill allows an employee to submit their own data. Has anyone put any though into how this would affect expats and immigrants who get WEPed?
I am assuming SSA wouldn't get the earnings data from foreign countries so you would have to somehow submit it yourself. Then again they have some exchanges of information to handle the totalization agreements.
Just stumbled on this via the following article:

This got me to this doc that's very interesting from the SSA:
