Does the WEP apply if one moves from non-SS-covered employment to SS-covered employment?
Yes, unless one forfeits the right to the government pension from the non-SS-covered employment (by withdrawing contributions and interest before becoming eligible to receive such a pension.) The trigger is whether the person is eligible for the pension from the non-SS-covered work. Back to Top III.
