So they didn't pay in but now get a slice of the pie they didn't help with? Sounds like welfare to me.
You might try reading the bill. Those who paid into were penalized if they had a pension from another source. None of it has anything to do with someone getting it who has not paid anything into SS.How's it work? Everything I've read is just giving free money to people who had jobs not paying in to ss. Am I missing something?
No.So, is this welfare for people who didn't pay in to social security? Kinda like people who don't work but get food stamps.

You might think that, but you'd be wrong.So they didn't pay in but now get a slice of the pie they didn't help with? Sounds like welfare to me.
This is not correct.Everything I'm reading is, If you opted to have a job that paid in to a pension instead of ss, you get a penalty for not helping pay your share.(but you still get your untaxed pension.) But now people get to double dip. Not pay in to ss and still get their pension and get paid from ss. Is this not correct?
Did you ever stop to think that people have had multiple jobs throughout their lives? Did it ever occur to you that some folks work full and part time jobs at the same time? Good grief thinking is fundamental. I worked for 15 years in jobs where Social Security taxes were withheld. Then I went to work for a State agency where a pension plan was offered instead. I was still eligible to draw SS benefits at retirement. However, I was penalized $439 per month under WEP. I shouldn’t have been. Now Congress has righted that wrong.Everything I'm reading is, If you opted to have a job that paid in to a pension instead of ss, you get a penalty for not helping pay your share.(but you still get your untaxed pension.)
