To those with lowered SSI benefits, did you contribute to SSI, when working in your police jobs? I know some departments go with the pension and do not deduct SSI taxes?

The problem with SSI and State/local pensions is that the municipalities either do not pay their portion into the pension, or they raid the pension funds for general use. This has been done for many years with SSI. People pay into them, expecting benefits at a later date, but the Federal government raids the coffers.

The word "entitlement" is thrown around a lot these days. It is not an entitlement, when you pay into it.
