On top of that The City of Detroit went bankrupt and reduced his pension benefits. Why wouldn’t he be able to collect SS benefits for the second career during a different time period but he cannot. Would this new repeal allow him to now collect SS?
If he paid into the system for at least 40 quarters, he should be collecting SS already, but the new law will increase the amount he receives.
