My mother was a teacher in Ky for many years and paid into a pension plan. Every year her Soc Sec benefit is being cut because she receives a pension from the State of Ky Teacher's Retirement Fund. This doesn't seem right. Does anyone have any idea how this works? She was a schoolteacher in Fayette County, KY, not a government employee. Every year they cut her Soc Sec benefit and that is the reason they give. Any ideas?
If your Mom was a school teacher in a public school she was part of the County or City government. As taxes were use to pay her salary and any other benefits.
Does your Mom get Medicare, or is she under some other type of senior medical plan? Usually Medicare is taken out of Social Security every month.
