Turd breath, you do not have to pay into it, to get it.
Turd breath, almost anyone who works pays into welfare, and may end up drawing it, just like unemployment. The only one who sucks is you, so stop tickling my asshole.........
I am sure you can explain how this is done. The only people I know that recieve benifits from social security are children who's parents have died before the child turned 18.
EDITED TO ADD
No one contributes to unemployeement but the employeer and the government. Workers don't
Wrong
Understanding The Benefits
Charles we are talking about unemployment checks
and
Where your Social Security tax dollars go
When you work, 85 cents of every Social Security tax dollar you pay goes to a trust fund that pays monthly benefits to current retirees and their families and to surviving spouses and children of workers who have died. The other 15 cents goes to a trust fund that pays benefits to people with disabilities and their families.
15% of Every Dollar it pays out goes to people with disabilities. Many of whom never paid in, or did not may in Nearly as much as they will receive in their Life Time. That my friend is welfare.
Then there is this
How much can family members get?
Each family member may be eligible for a monthly benefit that is up to half of your retirement or disability benefit amount. However, there is a limit to the total amount of money that can be paid to you and your family. The limit varies, but is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of your retirement or disability benefit.
If you are divorced
If you are divorced, your ex-spouse may qualify for benefits on your earnings. In some situations, he or she may get benefits even if you are not receiving them. To qualify, a divorced spouse must:
* Have been married to you for at least 10 years;
* Have been divorced at least two years;
* Be at least 62 years old;
* Be unmarried; and
* Not be eligible for an equal or higher benefit based on his or her own work or someone else’s work.
Survivors benefits
When you die, your family may be eligible for benefits based on your work.
Family members who can collect benefits include a widow or widower who is:
* 60 or older; or
* 50 or older and disabled; or
* Any age if he or she is caring for your child who is younger than 16 or disabled and entitled to Social Security benefits on your record.
Your children can receive benefits, too, if they are unmarried and:
* Younger than 18 years old; or
* Between 18 and 19 years old, but in an elementary or secondary school as full-time students; or
* Age 18 or older and severely disabled (the disability must have started before age 22).
Additionally, your parents can receive benefits on your earnings if they were dependent on you for at least half of their support.
Payment after death
If you have enough credits, a one-time payment of $255 also will be made after your death. This benefit may be paid to your spouse or minor children if they meet certain requirements.
If you are divorced
If you are divorced, your ex-spouse may be eligible for survivors benefits based on your earnings when you die. He or she must:
* Be at least age 60 years old (or 50 if disabled) and have been married to you for at least 10 years; or
* Be any age if he or she is caring for a child who
is eligible for benefits based on your earnings; and
* Not be eligible for an equal or higher benefit based on his or her own work; and
* Not be currently married, unless the remarriage occurred after age 60 or after age 50 if disabled.
Benefits paid to an ex-spouse will not affect the benefit rates for other survivors receiving benefits on your earnings record.
NOTE: If you are deceased and your ex-spouse remarries after age 60, he or she may be eligible for Social Security benefits based both on your work and the new spouse’s work, whichever is higher.
How much will your survivors get?
Your survivors receive a percentage of your basic Social Security benefit—usually in a range from 75 to 100 percent each. However, there is a limit to the amount of money that can be paid each month to a family. The limit varies, but is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of your benefit rate.
Add to all that that the Government has simply Drained the Trust Fund and in Effect SS is now just part of the General Budget but off the books, and you have A massive welfare program that By ALL accounts is becoming unsustainable as people live much longer, and more and more people qualify for Disability payments.
I actually have a beef with them that I am torn about as well. My mother gets Survivor Benefits From My Father. Even though she walked out on him for another man 35 Years before he died. Simply because she never Re married and he did not either She gets His Benefits, which are slightly more than hers would be. She started getting them at 55.
The concept of SS was intended to be something that is not Welfare, but it has been perverted into one. Which oddly enough is what opposition to it said would happen when it was sold to us by FDR as not a welfare program.
Besides the premise of this Thread is a lie. What most Conservative want to do is to move Programs like this to the state level, and add some level of Privatization to them. That is not the same and getting rid of all welfare, and the title suggests. It is simply looking for an easy to manage, and more Efficient way to do it. By using money from the Trust Fund to cover gaps in the Budget the have broke the compact with the people on SS. It is no longer pay as you go. Moving it to the state level would stop the Federal Government from Stealing for it. Allowing Younger workers to privatize some not all of theirs would be best. A slow transition so we can cover current retirees while moving away from a system that is inefficient and comber sum and abused, to something that can be much more efficient. Even investing very conservatively privately you would be hard pressed to not get a better return and end up with a much richer retirement than what you get from SS for what you pay in. Private accounts for younger workers, that still force them to put money away, but allows them to get a much better return, would be a great thing.
You people on the left get so emotional about it you can not see that.
Then of course we would still need some form of welfare for the Disabled who can not work but I am pretty sure it would be a more efficient sustainable way to go.
