" I paid a lot in to social security- but I'll never get a dime back, because I am in the state employees system, and we aren't allowed social security."

When Is a CalSTRS Participant Eligible for Social Security Benefits? If you are a CalSTRS participant, you may be eligible for Social Security benefits:

  • Through a spouse's earnings. However, if you receive a CalSTRS pension, your Social Security spouse’s, widow’s or widower’s benefits may be reduced due to the Government Pension Offset. Visit the SSA Web site to learn more or estimate your Social Security benefit.
  • Through Social Security credits earned on income from other jobs. If you've paid Social Security taxes on earnings for at least 40 quarters, you should apply for Social Security. However, your benefits may be reduced due to the Windfall Elimination Provision. Visit the SSA Web site for more information or to estimate your Social Security benefit.
