I worked in retail before I started teaching. SS tax was withheld from my paycheck. As a teacher I paid into the state’s teacher retirement program. Should I not be entitled to draw both since I paid into both?
Are you not able to now? If you paid in to SS for the required number of quarters, then I think it’s fair that you get both. If you never paid in or don’t have the required quarters, then no.
The WEP and GPO prevented that. This bill is correcting it, finally!
Seems like a fair correction as long as only those who paid in get the benefits.
Well that's what this is so.....
