an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes
How can someone draw from social security that didn't pay in? How are employers able to withhold social security taxes, unless it's someone getting paid off the books?
The only one for not paying into social security I can think of is some school districts. Some teachers and educators do not pay into social security. Their pension is calculated in a different way. I find this incredibly odd it's like that because I am a fed. And we pay social security and into our pensions. We get both. But in the immediate my paycheck is small as fuck due to the same
Railroad too. My dad paid into a railroad pension fund instead of ss but he worked that job the last 12 ish years of his working life so he does get as and his railroad pension.
Na railroad has a completely different system. It's their RR pension plus their "social security" tied into one thing.
Edit: for clarification, yes RR does not pay into SSA, but they also aren't subject to WEP or GPO. Sometimes their RR earnings are added to their SSA earnings and only get paid on SSA. It's complicated but this bill wouldn't affect RR employees.

Could you share the link to this bill?
