    1) I know that SS gave me 23 years of credit.  I believe they said $1082.00.

    2) I am receiving $1761.00 from my husbands SS.  When he passed away I needed the money to keep my house. He paid in over 30 years.  He was receiving SS disability.

    3) No, I only made $3000 a year on council but they paid my PERS so I got a full years credit.  I served 16 years and decided not to run again as I got a job with the police dept to help with my pension, not knowing it would hurt.  I only have 20 years in and I am 66.  I will continue to work for now. 

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Dear Sir,

     

    This is my problem.  I worked 23 years in social security.  I was on city council for 16 years ($3000.00 per year) but got full credit towards my PERS paid by the city.  The last 10 years I am working for a police dept. paying into PERS.  I am 66 years old.  If I work another two years I will have 23 years in PERS. (Public Employment Retirement System).  My husband passed away 2 years ago, so to survive I chose to receive his social security because it was more then mine.  He paid more than 30 years into social security.  We never made a lot of money but worked hard.  Now that I am alone, I need both incomes to survive.  I owe on my house etc.  If I retire in two years I would receive around $1800.00 from PERS.  So if they take 2/3rds of my SS I cannot live in my house, own a car, nothing.  I need both very much.  The bible says to take care of the widowers but I will be homeless in what should be the end of my life.  Please help me, what can I do.  Does this fit my situation as I have paid into social security.

     

    Thank you so much, I have cried many nights over this and no one understands.
