January 23, 2008, 12:46pm (report abuse)I have approximately eighty (80) quarters of "substantial" earnings between 1961-1997. I began drawing Texas Teacher Retirement in 1993. I also earned and paid Social Security taxes on $21,745 that same year. I was contributing to Social Security on the last day I taught but in another job. My Social Security benefits were reduced to 40%. Unfair.

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.
