Social Security and Government EmployeesNCPSSM2026-01-07T17:55:28-04:00
  • I was born in April 1949. I want to know when I could start collecting Social Security? Also, I have been told because I have a state retirement, my Social Security


  • I am currently a full-time federal employee. My most recent Social Security statement estimates my full retirement age payment at about $712 a month.


  • How much will I be penalized at age 62 if I am collecting a retirement from a state program. I will collect $2,000 per month from PERS in the state of Nevada.


  • I am currently retired after 25+ years working for the federal government and I draw an annuity. My wife is still working and intends to continue.


  • My wife receives a small public pension. She worked as a part-time cook for a local school system where she earned approximately $160 per month.


  • I have received contradictory advice. I am 66 and am still working but understand from my Social Security office that the Government Pension Offset applies


  • Do pension offsets apply only to federal government pensions or also to state, county, and city pensions?


  • I retired at the age of 55. I had worked for the state of New York for 30 years doing clerical work in a college library.


  • I don’t understand how 13 states can pass a Social Security offset. Social Security is a federal program.It seems unfair that I have worked and can’t collect


  • I have paid my 40 quarters into the Social Security fund over the last 21 years from employment in the private sector.
