State employees do not get to collect SS.
Someone retired in my family was a Pennsylvania state employee and also gets SS. I’m sure you’re wrong about that.
“State employees do not get to collect SS”
Then again you didnt pay into it while working for the State, so that is understandable. I assume when you were working your way through college you didn’t pay in enough to be eligible to collect SS?. My buddy whom is a California Teacher bitches about the same thing, then I remind him what are you doing with that extra 4-5k a year your not paying into SS? Put away and propely invested would net probably a 300k plus nest egg after 35 years on top of a VERY fair State pension.
State employees get their big fat pension and SS.
Do state employees pay into the Social Security system via FICA deductions.
