15 STATES INVOLVED

Public employees in fifteen states are not covered by Social Security.  This means that no matter when, where or how many Social Security credits you may have earned, if you retire in any one of these states, you will be subjected to the reduction in retirement benefits.  If your deceased spouse has accumulated some Social Security credits, her or his retirement benefit to you will also be reduced.  The fifteen states are:

ALASKA     CALIFORNIA     COLORADO     CONNECTICUT     GEORGIA     ILLINOIS

KENTUCKY     LOUISIANA     MAINE     MASSACHUSETTS     MISSOURI     NEVADA

OHIO.            RHODE ISLAND & TEXAS  (certain local governments).

    The WEP is totally unfair and discrimatory to someone like me that worked forty quarters under Social Security and the retired from teaching. Why are Kentuckians being discrimated against?
