It is  now referred to as “Federal Benefit Payment.”  I don’t recall the government putting anything into the till.  I recall it being earned income, plus my employer contributing.  It totalled 15% of our income before taxes.  Example:  If your salary was $30,000 over your working life, that is close to $180,000 input.   Did they pull a wealth distribution with our social security money?  Where did it go?
