So I now have PERS, and I paid into FICA since I was, I think, 16. I don't think I had to pay into that until I turned 16; I worked on a produce farm in the summers and they didn't take out any taxes until then. I've been in PERS instead for 7 + years.

Anyway, I hear that you can't get both. How does that work? I thought I heard of a guy who retired early and took a payout on PERS so he could still get SS. Of course he lost some PERS, but...

Anyone know anything about this?
