How exactly are you "opted out" of Social Security? Most ministers don't have SS or Medicare withheld from their W-2s, but they pay it anyway thru self-employment tax. A few denominations qualify for special SS exemptions on religious grounds, but those are rare.

I filed a IRS Form 4361 for SS exemption and have been approved.  I have the paperwork confirming my approval.
