When I started drawing my Social Security I was also penalized. If you work under both systems and pay into both retirement systems you should not be penalized. This needs to be changed.... 46999@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2772.html#46963 Just hand out social security benefits to the one's that never worked, then penalize the one's that payed in all their lives.
