However if you have 30 years or more of substantial Social Security earnings or were born before 1924 or were eligible for a Legislators Plan annuity before 1986, even if you did not retire, then your Social Security is not diminished because of legislative service. If you have fewer than 30 years of substantial Social Security earnings, your benefit may be reduced under the Windfall Elimination Provision. This provision is covered in the Social Security publication, Fact Sheet No. 2, No. 05-10045. For further information, call Social Security at 1 (800) 772-1213.
