Did you read my explanation? It’s complicated. I worked for Social Security for almost 30 years.

I encourage all to learn the facts. It is easy enough by going to Socialsecurity.gov.
The United States Social Security Administration | SSA
Official website of the U.S. Social Security Administration.

Note: those who did NOT pay SS taxes during their government career, usually have nice pensions based on those Non-FICA taxed earnings. Most workers who had FICA taxes taken from ALL their earnings do not, unfortunately, have pensions. Social Security was devised as an anti-poverty program.

Workers who pay SS taxes on ALL their earnings usually only get a 50% return. This means that without the WEP law, those who only paid SS taxes on secondary jobs (not their main gov career earnings) may get up to a 90% return (bc they look like low income workers in the calculation).

Benefits are figured by averaging 30 years of earnings. Earnings not taxed for SS show up as zero years. Zero years bring down the average so the worker looks like a low income worker. Social Security is a SOCIAL program so lower income workers get a HIGHER return than other workers (up to 90%).

Your response shows a lack of understanding of the laws and your hatred is not necessary. I worked for Social Security for almost 30 years. WEP & GPO laws are completely misunderstood and were put in place to eliminate an unfair advantage for those who worked for jobs that did not tax for SS.
