I have 20 years of Social Security paid prior to entering the teaching profession. Why should I have to donate these earnings because I chose to serve the children of this country?Feb 27th, 2013Someone from Marlborough, MA writes:

It doesn't seem fair that if I had a pension from a private corp I could collect a widow's pension but because I have one from being a teacher, I can't get widow's social security.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a "victim" of WEP with several of my friends over 62. You require us to pay into a system and then "steal" our monies. Your system reduced my benefits by 65% and you expect me to have faith in a once proud nation and goverment?REPORT COMMENTS

This is very unfair. I have two close relatives who receive both social security and teacher pensions. They are in Va and Pa. This should be repealed. It is unjust.REPORT COMMENTS

And the catch 22...because I paid into social security of which I receive only a portion of the benefit, I was not allowed to buy back the years of non-public school service through my state retirement system, absolutely punitive and ridiculous!REPORT COMMENTS

I paid social security when I was incredibly poor and will never be able to collect. It would be nice to collect when inflation eats up my pension.REPORT COMMENTS
