You can rent a home and still collect social security money. Social security money is meant to be a subsidy and not your only source of income.
Yup, you can collect any pension money coming to you without it affecting your social security.
You cannot access your social security entitlement until you are eligible to collect social security. Then the people who are working will fund your entitlement.
They remain in the Social Security fund to be paid to other beneficiaries.
Your screwed.
Yes, you can. As you said, teachers in Ohio do NOT pay social security. Teachers in Pennsylvania DO pay social security. HOWEVER (and there is a big however), when you start to collect social security, you will take a hit from social security. This is called a Windfall Provision. Spousal benefits are also affected. With that said, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ATTORNEY AND TAX ADVISOR. I am not an expert.
No, winning money would not automatically lead to the cutoff of Social Security benefits. However, there are income and asset limits that may affect the Social Security benefits a person receives. If the winnings, plus any other income or assets, exceed these limits, it could result in a reduction or loss of Social Security benefits. It is advised to consult with the Social Security Administration for specific details.
FICA taxes, which include Social Security and Medicare taxes, are withheld from earnings in most cases. They are not deductible on a federal tax return. You will only see some of that money again when you collect Social Security or Medicare.
Yes, the transfer of money occurs when the government transfers money it collects to businesses and individuals (in the form of subsidies, welfare, social security, etc.).
is there a limit as to how much money a person on social security can accumulate
No, you cannot use a social security card to withdraw money. A social security card may be useful if you want to open a bank account, though, and you can withdraw money from that.
It depends on many factors. I worked for the unemployment office and if you tell them you are receiving money from social security, they will put your file on hold and go through adjudication, which can take up to 6 weeks. They do not have the capabilities of checking to see if you are on social security, so the best policy is to not say anything... =)
