Biden RAISES Social Security Payments On Way Out

[Harry Dresden]

SEE POST #95

you just said he should not be allowed to double dip....now its ok?...

 

[postman]

would increase monthly benefits in December 2025 by an average of $700
so your saying retirees are going to get a 700 dollar raise?...

One of the guys here that retired, who worked in the private sector before the Post Office, was just shy half a dozen social security quarters to qualify for SS retirement. So he's working to qualify for social security. And even then, because of the government pension offset, his benefits from SS security were severely cut. But were enough to cover medicare part B.

 

[Marener]

He collected SS based on what he paid into SS

NOPE

 

[Harry Dresden]

He wasnt penalized

He collected SS based on what he paid into SS

mac go and do some research on this ...you have no idea what you are talking about....

ok so you did not answer my question.....you said they will be getting $700.00 dollar a month raise...do want to correct that?...

 

[postman]

Are they not losing the pensions

So they are getting benefits for both even they only paid into one

You only get what you paid for.

To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you must be at least 62 years old and have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a minimum of 10 years, which equates to earning at least 40 Social Security credits throughout your working life; the amount of your benefit is based on your lifetime earnings,

 

[postman]

No, his SS was reduced because of what he got from the government retirement system.

Public Law 98-21, Social Security Amendments of
1983, approved April 20, 1983.

How much will my Social Security benefits
be reduced?
We’ll reduce your Social Security benefits by twothirds
of your government pension. For example, if
you get a monthly civil service pension of $3,000,
two-thirds of that, or $2,000, must be deducted from
your Social Security benefits.

MTG is already all over renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Name ONE thing she has done for her district.

Interesting question, any one know the answer?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

When it is a gift to biden voters but not others

Many pension government folks voted for Trump.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

So will the feds pocket the pensions instead of giving more money to the teachers?

Dont hold your breath

The government workers will double dip

OK, you are being stupid here.

 

[Mac-7]

How is it double dipping? They paid social security taxes on these earnings used to calculate
their benefit.

They did not pay SS tax on earnings that went to the pension

 

[Mac-7]

OK, you are being stupid here.

No, you and your lib buddies are

 

[Marener]

They did not pay SS tax on earnings that went to the pension

True. And Social Security does not use those earnings to calculate their benefit. Not now. Not ever.

The only thing that changes is that these people now get their full earned social security benefit, not the cut down version from the WEP.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, you and your lib buddies are

You are one legged man trying to hop away from a wolf pack. Hurry, hoppity.

Trump had already suggested ending taxation on SS benefits and he vowed to find ways to keep politician's grubby fingers out of the SS coffers.

Biden's overall legacy is so tainted with corruption and crime that his last ditch effort to save face is too little - too late.

How to tell us you're a complete idiot without saying the words.

NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS SO MUCH AS CHARGED WITH A CRIME. REPUBLICANS KEEP MAKING FALSE CLAIMS THAT DEMOCRATS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES, BUT SO FAR NO EVIDENCE, NO WITNESSES AND NOT A SINGLE CHARGE.

TRUMP'S DOJ PROSECUTED HIS OWN ADVISORS AND SENT THEM TO JAIL - ALL WERE GUILTY.

SS bases benefits on how much the retiree paid in

the guv workers paid into their pension fund instead of SS

They dont deserve extra benifits

 

[initforme]

As far as teachers, they pay into their pension and they pay SS taxes. When they collect their pension, they then only pay fed and state taxes as they already had paid SS taxes on it

It seems you’re under the impression that government workers can’t ever work for private companies ever in their lives.

But you see, sometimes people work for the government for some years and pay into a pension and then they work for private companies for other years, paying into social security.

That’s who we are talking about.

Is that too difficult for you to understand?

 

[munkle]

He gave SS to government hacks who never paid a penny into the system.
