Big changes are here for teachers planning their retirement!


In this episode of The Teacher Money Show, I talk with David Gourley—former high school math teacher turned financial planner for educators—about the recent repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) and what it means for teachers across the country.


These long-standing Social Security provisions have reduced or eliminated benefits for many public school educators. With their repeal, teachers in affected states could now see a significant boost to their retirement income.
