Nearly 3 million Americans are poised to see bigger Social Security benefit checks. For some, that could trigger larger tax bills and Medicare premium payments.

The Social Security Fairness Act boosted payments for millions of Americans, but with the higher checks could come tax burdens.

President Joe Biden signs Social Security Fairness Act, co-sponsored by former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, who is likely to tout the bipartisan legislation in her campaign for governor this year.

Public service workers, including some teachers, firefighters and police officers, may soon see their Social Security payments increase by hundreds of dollars monthly.
