Urge Congress: Oppose Mandatory Coverage

Educators in twelve states (AK, CA, CO, CT, IL, KY, LA, MA, ME, MO, NV, OH) as well as selected districts in three additional states (GA, RI, TX) do not pay into Social Security. Instead, these states maintain separate retirement systems for educators. Some Social Security reform proponents have suggested requiring Social Security participation for all public employees.

 NEA opposes this proposal.

Tell your Representative and Senators: Protect public employees' retirement. Oppose mandatory Social Security coverage.
