    Paying the Social Security tax was an insurance policy. We have reached the age required to collect dividends. Make it happen.

    Because of my teacher's pension, I am not eligible for benefits from my spouse's Social Security, and my own Social Security benefits are drastically reduced. As my spouse battles cancer, the inequity of the WEP/GPO causes me concern about my future income.

    My wifes social security "spousal" benefit is unfairly reduced by 2/3 of her teacher retirement while someone who never worked gets the full 100% "spousal" benefit. Totally unfair.

    Paid in for 20 plus years and deserve to be compensated for what was paid, not punished because I now have a pension that I actively pay into.
