[OSSSA218] FW: February 16 - How Some Public Employee Pensions May AffectSocial Security Benefits Webinar

[Karen PARK]

Good afternoon,

Another opportunity to learn more about Social Security coverage for State and Local governments. This may apply to one of your employees as an example - 

Say you are a PERS employer and you have an employee who has earned a portion of their benefit from wages which were not subject to  social security. This employment does not have to be in your employment. 

Thank you ...... have a great day!

Dear Colleague:

The Social Security Administration will be hosting a webinar, "How Some Public Employee or Teacher Pensions May Affect Social Security Benefits," on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. EST.

In this webinar, we will walk you through how the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) may affect Social Security benefits of workers whose employers do not withhold Social Security taxes from their salary, such as some school systems and some local, state and federal government agencies.  For more information about WEP and GPO, visit our Government Employees webpage, www.socialsecurity.gov/gpo-wep/<http://www.socialsecurity.gov/gpo-wep/>.

We ask that you share the webinar information with your members, colleagues, and other interested parties.

To RSVP for the webinar, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/survey/gpo-wepRSVP.htm<http://www.socialsecurity.gov/survey/gpo-wepRSVP.htm>.

I hope you will join us for this informative session.
