Not really...
The person that hired you ‘matched’ your payment ‘in your behalf’.
If you were lucky enough to be self employed, Unka Sugah allowed you to pay the entire amount.
Now they want to call it welfare.....
Reminiscent of b clinton saying ALL government payouts were welfare, including Military Retirement, SSA etc with the idea being a check from the Government was a check from the Government, so it was one and the same.
I am not sure but I do not think he included Pols pay etc in that mix.
Ya “Really”!
My employer paid that match as part of the cost of my employment.
If not for SSI, that would have come directly to me in wages.
