that request, government, private sector , even the self employed...............the traitor in the white house more than likely has not put one dime into the system...............

We are not deferring at my place of employment and I suggested my husband ensure he not have his deferred either.

but the key too SS is what you make and put into your benefit and when you do start the claim, the SS people will look at what you have in your benefit and they then determine what you get, so the more you pay into your benefit the more you get per month when you retire, so the idea is to not suspend the tax, when I was working I saw exactly how much I paid into the benefit over the years, they SS showed me, and instead of me waiting until I reached the age of 67, I took mine at 66 and was penalized $10 per month..............trump is jerk, he wants to hurt everyone and anyone that is on the benefit plan along with every republicans in office, its that simple...............

If you have not yet reached full retirement age, the only option for stopping Social Security payments is to apply for a “withdrawal of benefits,” a more formal process that, unlike a suspension, requires you to repay Social Security the benefits you have received to date.

I am not yet retired (62) - but if my hours get cut, I may have to look at this (hoping not, but ...)

into the fund with the total tax being between you and them is around 15% total out of your pay check I was out of work for six years based on a serious injury so it hurt my SS benefit, I should have demanded it during the settlement that that fund should have been made up, but I never did and I really never asked .........so hang in there..................we can do this, we have to...............

employee and they just told us this week that they weren’t stopping the deductions. For which I was eternally grateful. Of course, I work for one of those « Democrat » governors we hear tell of.

and my deductions weren't stopped either.

I have contacted my HR department, my Accounting/payroll department, my CPA and my Congressional office and they all say that I have NO CHOICE; I cannot opt out. I look at this as a political stunt - why would you "loan" me my own money, which I have put into social security since I was 16 years old, only to make me pay it back - taking double out of my paycheck in January? I didn't ask for it - I am one of the fortunate ones in this terrible tragedy - I have a job and a paycheck. Where is the help for the homeless? The Unemployed?

When I called my congresswoman's office I was told that they needed people who were upset about this to call their congressional office so that they could take the complaints to Washington.

I'm really upset that I have no choice in this matter. I don't know what to do besides literally take the money and send it to Social Security monthly.

Their studies show that the impact on the Social Security department being denied this tax payer funding for three months means that the entire department will be out of money by 2023. That is less than THREE YEARS AWAY.

This has my blood pressure so high. Why am I being told I have no choice if congressional staff DOES have a choice?

doubled next year.

I'm glad for it.
