social security
Yes, you can. As you said, teachers in Ohio do NOT pay social security. Teachers in Pennsylvania DO pay social security. HOWEVER (and there is a big however), when you start to collect social security, you will take a hit from social security. This is called a Windfall Provision. Spousal benefits are also affected. With that said, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ATTORNEY AND TAX ADVISOR. I am not an expert.
It's based on your actual Social Security earnings records, and starts at age 67 years old
It depends on several factors. First of all if your entire working career has been as a teacher in one of the 14 states whose teachers do not pay into social security, then the answer would be that you would receive no social security benefit because you never paid any money into it. Now, lets say you work as a teacher for 15 years in a state whose teachers DO pay into social security, such as Pennsylvania. You then decide to work for 15 years as a teacher in Ohio whose teachers do NOT pay into social security. Once you retire, you would indeed get social security due to the fact you worked 15 years in PA and paid into SS. HOWEVER, you would take a hit (called the Windfall Provision) because you are also collecting money from Ohio's pension.
Social security payments have been late the last several months because the federal government is inefficient and punitive. Obama is upset that so many people oppose the HUGE deficits his administration has caused, so he has ordered the withholding or delay of vital services, while continuing to spend billions on non-essentials.
I worked for the Fed Govt for 35 yrs before that I worked and paid 48 quarters into Social Security, my wife worked for the Railroad and was covered by Railroad Retirement, we are now retired. My Social Security was reduced under the Windfall Elimination Clause of the Social Security Act. I was entitled to a portion of my wife's Railroad Retirement Benefits. The Railroad Retirement Board recently informed me that they were reducing my benefits because I have a Federal pension. This is a double hit, since my Social Security benefits have already been reduced by 45%? I have appealed this ruling and hope to have it reversed. Can they reduce both benefits due to a Federal pension being drawn?
That is correct, exept that the employer pays a portion of your FICA, whereas when you are Self-employed you are hit with the full amount. Of course you have the advantages of being able to deduct all of your business expenses. More information below from IRS.gov " Self-employment tax (SE tax) is a social security and Medicare tax primarily for individuals who work for themselves. It is similar to the social security and Medicare taxes withheld from the pay of most wage earners. You figure SE tax yourself using Schedule SE (Form 1040). Social security and Medicare taxes of most wage earners are figured by their employers. Also you can deduct half of your SE tax in figuring your adjusted gross income. Wage earners cannot deduct social security and Medicare taxes." Hope this helps. Roger Hadad, Effectur Inc, www.irs101.blogspot.com
You will have to pay taxes on your benefits, and any other income you have. And unless you have money taken out of your benefit checks for tax purposes, (which you wouldn't because they don't normally tax them) you get hit with a huge tax bill in April. It is a bad financial move to get married while receiving Social Security Disability insurance. You will not be taxed if your combined income is $34,000.00 per year or less. If the combined is more, your Social Security Disability Income can be taxed up to 10% of your yearly earnings.
bush almost got hit with a shoe lol that was funny
Those in the HIT are more about security.

No, there is no penalty for earned income after reaching full retirement age. Individuals can earn any amount without affecting their Social Security benefits once they hit this age. However, if you claim benefits before full retirement age, there may be penalties based on your earnings. Always consult the Social Security Administration or a financial advisor for personalized advice.
