My understanding is it's not the Gov't's fault for lower SS monthly checks, but because it's Ohio who is screwing us. We are allegedly one of only two States who get lower SS benefits due to a public pension

Nah, I got nailed too. I retired from the Anchorage Police Dept and retired to Wyoming. They nailed me, cut my SS in half, based on what I was suppose to get (per their print outs).
I paid into SS based on my NG and military wages, but got nailed because I also have a LE pension.
I'm trying to figure out if I can opt out of medicare (the part you have to pay for). I have medical w/my LE pension and I get tri-care from retiring from the Military (NG)
From what people tell me I'm going to be required to sign up for medicare. Thats going to take almost all of my $352 SS payments.
social "SECURITY" ain't.
