    I am a widow living on a pension. My husband worked very hard to provide for me and contributed to Social Security for over 40 years.Upon his death 2 years ago the benefits stopped, leaving me in financial need. I would sincerely appreciate being able to receive benefits.

    I paid into Social Security for many years, and am required to make contributions in my current position. But I will not get the benefits that I deserve.

    I have contributed to Social Security for over 20 years, but am penalized because I taught in Massachusetts for 20 years.

    My husband died without taking a benefit he had paid into for 40 years. It is unethical and immoral that I get none of it.

    Why penalize us? We paid into SS and our own. We spent years serving our country by instilling knowledge into our future workers.

    Fairnessfor those who have earned their Social Security. Stop acting like entitlement is a hand out. It is an earned and paid for benefit.

    I can't believe anyone would think it's ok to take money from teachers.
