Social Security withholdings

[norberto95]

My jurisdiction is: Puerto Rico / USA

I have been working for the Federal Government for the last twenty five (25) years but before that and during this 25 years period I have numerous jobs that have retained social security contributions from me.

I belong to a retirement system (CSRS) and the retirees on that system won't get social security benefit.

My question: Am I entitled to a refund for all this withholdings.

Not in your widest dreams would you be entitled to or get a refund.

You should ask for a form SSA-7004-PC, Request for Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement, from your local Social Security Office or visit their website at http://www.ssa.gov. If you submit this form, you will get a statement that provides information on your future eligibility for Social Security benefits and estimates of these benefits at specified dates. These estimates do not reflect any reduction for the Government Pension Offset or the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP).
