Contact HR at the ex work for answers

Answer 2

Absolutely! Federal employees DO contribute to Social Security, contrary to the misinformation of another poster here.

Annuity payments from an employer (any level of government or private industry) are completely separate from Social Security. You qualify for each separately and get what you earned from both systems.

Answer 3

Yes, his retirement pay is a benefit of the organization he worked for. (Department of Defense/ Homeland Security/ Treasury etc.) The social security benefit is available to everyone who paid into the system. As a federal employee he is required to pay into the system and are therefore eligible for the benefit as well. He still has to wait for the federally accepted retirement age to draw it, but it is a benefit that is still afforded to him.

Answer 4

Usually not. Depends if they have enough credits to receive SS. Most federal employees do not pay into soc security. If they have been paying into social security, they can receive it.

Answer 5

It depends on whether or not the employee participated in the Social Security system. Was FICA subtracted from your paychecks?
Best thing to do is to contact your local Social Security Office, or go online to

Answer 6

If they can and have gone past the year they should have applied will they get monies retroactive?

Answer 7

yes if he worked in the private sector long enough to get all the quarters needed.
