I don’t know what happened to all of the money. I am sure a lot was wasted. I have not heard of my brother getting any payment. He retired from the police department after 20+ and now drives a school bus. He does get a good pension but I know for a fact he is not rich.
Dad didn't pay SS taxes as a cop. He paid them as a self employed guy. But did that for over 10 years and then retired...He paid enough into SS to collect, but not at the top rate. He passed in 1985 and I miss him still...
