I know people who worked in the private sector and paid into social security for years. They then decided to become a teacher and taught 20 plus years. They could not collect social security because they had a pension. They paid into both, they should be able to get both.
Thank you Bonnies, yes--this is true. I paid into both and should be able to collect both. I've worked for over 50 years and still work past retirement so I can make ends meet. This ruling will correct a bad deal made years ago and will bring justice to people like me.
👍😁
My Dad was a teacher for 36 years, but he started later than most do so he paid into Social Security for years before he started teaching.
When he retired, he was told he was one quarter short to collect SS and he was too old to add more.
He ended up not being able to collect anything.
That really sucks!
