If you have the legal expertise, perhaps you can help by suggesting a course of action in the case of a class action lawsuit. We have found only one instance that could serve as legal grounds for such a lawsuit. It is called “unintended consequences.” This means if a law has “unintended consequences” for a portion of the population, as is the case with the GPO/WEP, it is grounds for a class action lawsuit.
We don’t believe that the GPO/WEP intended to short-change people who had earned the required Social Security credits to receive a full retirement check. As stated in another sidebar, evidently Congress didn’t think about people moving to a state where government employees didn’t pay Social Security taxes and consequently, they would have their benefits cut by nearly sixty percent!
If you think a class action lawsuit is possible, please let us know. If you know a law firm that might be interested in taking our case, post the name of the law firm, address, phone number or email address. Thank you!
