2. At least you have a chance of getting some of your SS investment back.

As a former teacher in CA I am out of luck. CA is a SS "offset" state along with 12 others. I found out about this when I became a teacher and no one believed me until I produced evidence from the state in writing since it is so unbelievable. In CA if you ever worked and contributed to SS and have earned enough SS credits you are not going to receive SS benefits (actually you get about 15% of what you would get if you never went into teaching). Therefore all the jobs I had, outside of teaching, when I had SS taken out of my paychecks are null and void as far as SS goes. My SS money is gone and will be given to someone else who isn't a teacher in CA.
