all it means is that they pay into SS like all others, and get the same SS benefits as all others.
As far as the rest of the retirement program for them, that can be googled, and it is "generous." However, I can't ever remember any local groups demanding that their rep sponsor or vote for a bill to reduce congressional pensions or face defeat the next election. That's another reason to vote them all out in 2010 and start fresh.
