What is the definition of social security taxes?

Answer 1

The amount of money deducted from your gross salary, supposedly put in a "lock box" for future use as a "retirement benefit" from US Govt. when one reaches the age of 62 or later. The older one is before one begins withdrawing SS, the more one should receive each month, up to your maximum input permanent retirement. If one has been married for at least ten years, gets divorced, the person with the lower SS earnings is able to collect 50% of the other spouse's SS benefits, without reducing the higher earner's benefits until the lower earner remarries. If one is on disability , SS no longer is withdrawn from disability check. One can also receive SS disability , should one qualify. That amount is then deducted from one's company's disability payments, but is no taxable, like income from work disability.
