Public sector retirees impacted by the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset should see their benefits fully updated by November. The majority of affected beneficiaries already began receiving their increased monthly benefit amounts in April. But the Social Security Administration says it's still working through some of the more complex cases. The Social Security Fairness Act, signed into law in early January, eliminated both the WEP and GPO. The two longstanding Social Security provisions had been reducing or eliminating benefits for many public sector annuitants.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special Crossover Episode with AI in the Public Sector, Season 3! AI has the potential to transform the way citizens interact with the government and the way agencies deliver services to citizens.  In previous episodes in this series we have heard from a number of Executive Branch leaders on the promises and potential risks of AI and how it's starting to transform government -- internal processes, service delivery, cybersecurity, and so on. Today, we turn our attention to the branch of government at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue and hear from Congressman Don Beyer, the Representative from Virginia's 8th congressional district. He's served in that position since 2015. The district is in the heart of Northern Virginia and includes Alexandria, Falls Church and Arlington. Let's see how some Congressional leaders are viewing AI and their early thinking about its potential.

In the face of climate change, the urgency for decarbonisation in public sector estates has never been more critical. With public sector estates producing over 9 million tonnes of CO2 annually, the journey towards achieving net zero by 2050 is a shared responsibility that demands immediate action and innovative solutions.In this panel discussion, experts from the NHS, local councils, and housing groups gathered to explore how local authorities can future-proof their estates through low carbon heating, energy efficiency retrofits, and the deployment of smart technologies. The conversation highlighted the vital role of funding, particularly through the public sector decarbonisation scheme, which has committed over £2 billion to support these initiatives.One of the standout projects discussed was the retrofitting of homes on the Dudley Fields Estate in Bloxwich. Adrian Andrew from Walsall Council shared insights into the comprehensive range of structural and environmental improvements being made to 85 units in collaboration with Walsall Housing Group. This project not only aims to bring older homes, some dating back to 1937, up to net zero standards but also serves as a model for future retrofitting efforts across the region.The challenges of retrofitting historic buildings were also a focal point of the discussion. Tricia Ayrton from Rochdale Borough Council proudly shared her experience with the renovation of Rochdale Town Hall, the first grade one listed building in the UK to install air source heat pumps. These efforts demonstrate that while technical challenges exist, ambitious projects can indeed be accomplished with the right planning and partnerships.As the conversation unfolded, the panellists emphasised the importance of communication and public engagement. Ensuring that residents understand the benefits of decarbonisation is crucial for garnering support and participation. The messaging around these initiatives must resonate with the community, highlighting not just environmental benefits but also the potential for reduced energy bills and improved living conditions.The panel concluded with key takeaways, stressing the need for a pragmatic approach to transitioning facilities into net zero. Janet Smith from the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust encapsulated this sentiment, advocating for a strategic plan that prioritises core facilities while considering the long-term sustainability of new builds.As we move forward in this critical journey towards decarbonisation, the insights shared by our panellists provide a roadmap for local authorities and organisations to follow. By embracing innovation, fostering partnerships, and engaging with the community, we can collectively work towards a more sustainable future for public sector estates. Hosted on Acast.

The threat that public sector organisations face from fraud is growing. In an era when technological advancements are rapidly transforming the landscape, public sector organisations face unprecedented challenges in combating fraud. According to a survey of public servants undertaken by SAS, all public sector agencies surveyed are currently experiencing some form of fraud and expect to see an increase in at least one type of fraud over the next 5 years. Fraud is also having an impact on public finances. In the UK, chancellor Rachel Reeves has set out a crackdown on fraud in the welfare system, with a focus on saving £4.3bn by the end of the decade, while the International Public Sector Fraud Forum has published a revised framework that sets out key principles and processes for conducting fraud loss measurement exercises to better quantify the cost of fraud – and measure savings. The importance of unlocking these savings is demonstrated by the SAS research, which identified that tackling fraud, waste and abuse could release savings equivalent to around 16% of their government's budget. This webinar session examined the scale and extent of the fraud challenge that governments around the world face – and how to tackle it. The session brought together public servants to discuss: The trends in the type of fraud threats that governments face now – and will face in future. How governments are tackling the threats they face now – and preparing for the threats that are on the horizon. The role for AI and analytics in tackling the fraud challenges that government face – and how these technologies can be embedded in current working practices.

Working in the public sector, Deniz faced a challenging situation during a particularly busy winter period when the client wanted to combine multiple major initiatives simultaneously: migration, new features, and security improvements. This led to an oversized team of 25 engineers, which ultimately caused significant problems. The pressure to continuously deliver became overwhelming, breaking team trust and leaving members feeling abandoned. Several team members left, the team culture disintegrated, and cases of burnout emerged. After this difficult experience, Deniz conducted a comprehensive retrospective to process what happened and provide feedback to management about the dangers of excessive pressure in Scrum environments. Self-reflection Question: How might you recognize the early warning signs of team burnout before it reaches a critical point, and what boundaries would you establish to protect your team?

In this special episode of the REIT Report, part of an ongoing series, “Building Resilience,” covering issues facing the REIT industry as it remains focused on investing for the long term, Daniel Kaniewski, Managing Director, Public Sector at Marsh McLennan, joins Nareit's Jessica Long, Senior Vice President of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, to discuss how his experience as the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) first deputy administrator for resilience has led to his current focus advancing resilience investment in the private sector.“During Hurricane Katrina, I was at the White House and saw the mass devastation, and I said, shouldn't we be doing something ahead of time to reduce these disaster losses Americans will almost inevitably face. What I found was there was a small but growing interest in an area called disaster resilience.”Currently, Kaniewski chairs the finance, insurance, and real estate committee at the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), a congressionally chartered nonprofit. He shares how he first got to know NIBS through their 2005 Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves study, which showed that every dollar the federal government invested in hazard mitigation saved four dollars. Then in 2017, “on the heels of hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria,” Kaniewski asked NIBS for the bottom line of a forthcoming updated Mitigation Saves study. “They shared that savings were actually, six to one. The updated report found that others benefited from these mitigation investments beyond the federal government. Communities that can continue to function after a disaster will save money, not just to the homeowner or the federal government, but to everyone in that community who would otherwise have to take the time to help those with the losses. Recovery costs were greatly reduced by those hazard mitigation investments.”
