@ekeadle Many teachers do not pay in to Social Security because they pay in to a Teachers Retirement System retirement plan instead. You have not mentioned what state you taught in. Did you pay in to TRS there? Are you receiving your teacher pension? There has recently been a change, and teachers (and some others) who paid in to Social Security and in to TRS are now receiving a higher amount of Social Security thanks to the Social Security Fairness Act that passed in 2024. But we do not know any of your details, so we cannot say if any of that applies to your situation.
