So in Texas teachers don't pay into Social Security? Must be one heck of a retirement pension plan.

It's not that great and NO generally, we don't get SS. However, I have teacher friends who earned SS before they became teachers and these people have successfully fought for their SS.

Wait

Fit doesn't pay social security tax?????

I don't know but I did for 11 years before I became a teacher. That's my money, don't you think I am entitled to it?

absolutely I do. my stepfather died unexpectedly and the way my mom was treated by SS was terrible in terms of the money she got after he had contributed to the system for 2 decades.

that's how Ponzi scheme operate, no???

I must say, if you don't know if you are paying SS tax you really should check your paystub
