You probably know more about this than I do. Let's assume you and your wife retire. You wife is a member of TRS; you receive social security. Is she eligible for spousal benefits of social security?

If not, then she is in a worse position than a stay-at-home mom who never worked.

That is my understanding. The federal government with Tom DeLay leading the charge, really screwed people who opted out of social security.

Yes. And some of the teachers are actually eligible for both their retirement and SS.

Tom Delay is not the oger Dems try to have us believe he is.
