My unbelievable Christmas gift from the Government after 10 yrs!!!

[@Tonya0220]

As an educator I was impacted! I worked and paid into the Social Security system for 20 years and then became a teacher. I’ve been paying into my educator pension for the past 20 years also. I should be able to draw both. I’m thankful they have finally recognized this! It’s not double-dipping (what the lady at the SS office told me!). It’s getting what I’ve rightfully paid for.

[@gloriouslifeonwheels3621]

It absolutely is not double dipping. It is collecting what we paid into!!

[@carolynmckenzie8122]

Yes, you can receive social security and teacher retirement!!! I’ve been retired and receiving BOTH for ten years!!! What makes me upset is that I have to file taxes every year on this money that I receive 😫 It’s not fair!!!!!!!

[@loisdmichael5131]

True, I elected to pay the taxes on my SS payments and didn't want to be surprised during tax time with having to pay tax on the money I receive. It would great if they stopped the tax withdrawal and reimbursed me the taxes I've paid on my SS payments since I've started collecting my SS.

Very happy for you! My sister was a young widow with 4 kids that she had to support the year that Regan stopped SS benefits after 18. This caused a great deal of hardship for my sister. However, she persevered and now her kids are middle aged adults and are doing well due to her love and the sacrifices she made for them. All 4 graduated from college, one has a Master's degree and another one is an attorney. However, at the time it was pretty cruel. I was just a college kid at the time and it hurt me to see how she suffered.

Good to hear. I’m in the group who had their SS reduced (teacher) and always felt it unfair while those in the military were getting full pensions from two or more careers.

[@colleenandjackmundstock4278]

I think the difference is the military was a retirement, not pension. Although it sounds like the same thing it is not. When you retire from the military they have the right to call you back to service if needed. My husband served 28 years and receives a retirement and that is how he explained it to me. Now soldiers get a 401k and the retirement for the new generation of military is gone. I’m so glad the windfall law is gone as it was very unfair. It’s about time.

[@cathyohara8746]

I'm not sure when it happened but not very many years ago the military took away one dollar for every dollar from your retirement to cover the costs of any disability you had from your service. So injured vets were paying for their own disability pay.

[@gloriouslifeonwheels3621]

Ten have committed suicide, some American veterans among them. Some have been in prison without even a trial for three years or more. Some have not held new babies for over a year.
