Whoever receives a pension gets a reduced social security. My question, is there a certain percentage that is taken out or is it case by case basis?

This isn't 100% true. It can be true for some government employees.

Some if not most government employees do not pay into SS. They just pay into Medicare.

ETA: You'll probably get a good answer if this is on the Money Board.

So if you are a retired teacher they calculate 2/3 of your state retirement and subtract that from spouse’s social security amount when spouse receiving ss dies?

I cannot speak to teachers as such but I do know, in Texas at least, their teacher pension and social security do not mesh in terms of 'whole' pay outs.

Mine, however, does...paid into both systems and return is not contingent upon either.

True of some state employees, not true for federal employees.

All federal employees hired in 1984 or later pay Social Security taxes. This includes the president, the vice president, and members of Congress. It also includes federal judges and most political appointees. They all pay the same amount of Social Security taxes as people working in the private sector.

Correct. I draw a monthly pension from the company I worked for and draw my full SS amount.

If recipients aren't below the poverty line, the semi-Ponzi SS income is taxed.

Great return on investment given the "Trust Fund's" 2% interest when inflation has averaged around 4% for the last 40 years. Great return for government budget that is.

Exactly. If I kick the bucket my wife will get ZERO from my social security.

Does retired teacher have to wait until spouse that draws the social security dies or can teacher draw it now?

Not true in my case, paid into both pension and SS.

Not accurate. I have worked my entire career for a private company that I have a pension with. When I retire I will get full SS and the pension full out. What you are describing are the benefits of government workers of some sort.
