Each payday some of your pay is withheld as a payroll deduction for Social Security. What happens to the money that is withheld?

It is put in an account and when you retire it is paid back to you. To get this you have to have 40 quarters paid into it and be 67 years old. Congress soon will be working on changing the retirement age and the way you receive money. It is all ready against the law since Reagan for teachers to get social security no matter if they have worked other jobs and paid into the system.

It's either Social Security, or a combination of Social Security and Medicare.

What is withheld from Social Security Benefits?

Sometimes, people are surprised to find out that their social security benefits are taxable. For the person who may only make $30,000 a year and receive social security benefits, getting taxed on these benefits can be a huge burden. To avoid any unfortunate surprises, some tax planning is required on the part of an individual. You can prepare for any taxes on social security benefits by having a portion of your social security benefits withheld from a paycheck. There are different amounts of money you may choose to have withheld from a paycheck. You may choose to have anywhere between 7% to 25% of your benefits withheld.

What is deducted from a workers pay check to fund social security and medicare?

In most years, your employer will deduct the following from your paycheck: Social Security: 6.2% of your gross pay Medicare: 1.45% of your gross pay However, in 2011 Obama signed into a law a "payroll tax holiday" as part of the continued effort to stimulate the economy. For 2011 only, the social security tax coming out of your paycheck is 4.2% instead of 6.2%, meaning that this year you will take home more money than you would in a "normal" year. Your employer matches these amounts too -- they pay another 6.2% for social security, and another 1.45% for Medicare. Under the payroll tax holiday, only your portion of social security is reduced to 4.2% -- your employer is still paying 6.2% of your pay into social security for you.
