Can you collect social security from PA paid while teaching there and Ohio teacher retirement money from teaching there?

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.

Can Catholic school retirement be rolled into Illinois state retirement?

In Illinois, Catholic school teachers typically participate in the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) or a private retirement plan, depending on the school's affiliation. If a Catholic school teacher has a TRS account, they can potentially roll over their retirement savings into the Illinois state retirement system upon retirement or termination of employment, following IRS guidelines. However, it's essential to consult with a financial advisor or the retirement system directly to understand the specific rules and options available for such rollovers.
