Will I Lose My Social Security Since I Now Live In A State That Doesn't Withdraw Social Security Taxes From My Earnings?
Hi, I worked as an educator for 10 years in AZ and worked other jobs for 10 years in AZ. I moved to IL and found out that teachers here don't have social security withdrawn from their checks. I was told the IL TRS acts like social security and a state pension. I know in AZ after you reach so many points you can retire and collect AZ state retirement then when you get to the age for social security, you receive that. I kept my AZ state retirement because it accrues interests and collects points still. I don't want to loose the money I put into social security.
