I worked hard, long hours, and extra jobs to earn additional quarters - who do I talk to about receiving the three SS checks that I have jobs and quarters for?
Those affected by WEP and GPO are not being "punished" at all, they are/were simply NOT being rewarded for avoiding SS taxes for half of their careers. They were not chosen simply because those jobs were in the public sector, public service and not for a profit-driven company. They were chosen because the DID NOT PAY SS taxes in those jobs.
One of my jobs was in the public sector, public service and not for a profit-driven company. I still receive both a pension and (soon) SS retirement. This is the case because I DID PAY SS taxes in that job.
