Pretty pathetic, eh? Right off my W-2s, so it doesn't reflect anything kicked in by DoD. My 1977 employer (before I joined the Navy) might have kicked in his extra $92.Sam said:Nords, are you sure? That number looks low. I don't know how the military work, but in the civilian world, the employer contributes an equal amount to SS on behalf of the employee.
Actually the total is a bit low. There's an extra $1200/year "special military service credit" added to the 1978-2001 wage reports sent from DoD over to the SSA. At 6.2% that adds up to an extra $1785.60 above the $45,585, but I didn't have to cough that up and I'm not sure who foots the bill for it (other than the taxpayers).
You could be right, DoD could be kicking in the same amount that I did. However I've never checked into it. Any experts here from DoD on that subject? The Other Michael, what do you know from the SSA side?
