    Default Myths about Social Security

    Devin Carroll clears up 7 myths about social security. Although all are interesting, myth number 7 is the most practical. The others are good to know during a 'fun' argument over the facts of SS with friends.

    These 7 Social Security myths just aren't true, no matter how often you hear them

    Default Re: Myths about Social Security

    I remembered from my Federal Retirement Seminar about having your Social Security Benefits trimmed if your Pension/TSP annuity payments (and any other income) are above a certain criteria.
    What I did NOT realize, is that this is only for Gov't Employees. Private sector workers can earn all the retirement benefits they want, but still recieve full Social Security benefits.

    Not a political endorsement...but just a proposal from a candidate who wants to fix this.
