i beg to differ with you my friend, I used to belive the same thing as it was true pre Jan, 1st 1984.

"The 1983 amendments to the Social Security Act (P.L. 98-21) required all Members of Congress to participate in Social Security as of January 1, 1984, regardless of when they first entered Congress. The laws governing payment of Social Security taxes and eligibility for Social Security benefits apply to Members of Congress in the same way they apply to any other covered worker".

I stand corrected, that's how long it's been since I looked at the subject, they also have their own retirement plan and depending on the length of time they actually served can retire with their Congressional salary.

They have to pay into SS but ... they make sure they have significant salaries to compensate for it.
