| 1 | Martha C. Rao | I am a veteran teacher who will be at the poverty level of income if I retire and lose any amount of my social security benefits as a result of the windfall or offset laws.. Please pass billsHR 82 and S206. Please don't penalize teachers for serving their country in the classroom. |
| 2 | Sheila McNamara | This is only fair. To do otherwise discourages invovlement of experienced professionals who have worked in the private sector from becoming involved in teaching later in life. |

| 8 | Roslyn Markman | I urge you to pass both HR 82 and S206. I worked a second job in private industry and paid into social security at the same rate that others did for my wage level. Why then are my social security benefits reduced, just because I am a teacher? It is discrimination and unfair! |

| 16 | Anonymous | This bill is fine. Teachers need to shut up and be happy with the great pensions they alreayd enjoy. |

| 19 | Forrest Hopping | I have medical problems that are not covered by Blue Cross, the insurance forced on me by the School District. It doesnt matter that I could have chosen Kaiser or some other insurance, they are all the same and they all make money without our being able to say anything about it, and are therefore coercive. My son has kidney failure and is on dyalisis. He is my dependent but cannot get survivors benefits, and will be homeless when I die. |
| 20 | Wilfred A. Moore | This is so important for me. As a teacher, if this is not passed I will lose a 20 year investment that I have in Social Security. |

| 24 | Anonymous | I spent ten years working outside of the shool system. Please do not penalize me and my wife for becoming a teacher. |
| 25 | Anonymous | Please make the change for ALL Californians and take away the "windfall" and the "offset." If a person has earned the social security benefits, he or she should get them without penalties. Do it now, and be fair to us. |

| 33 | Arnold Selk | I paid into both systems. Why am I being penalized? When I became a member of STRS after working in the private sector for 30 years, no one told me that I was going to forfeit part of my SSA award. Now it is the law, but it wasn't when I was hired by my school district. Sucker punched! |

| 40 | Barbara Jarvik | This is so important. Retired people should not have to live in poverty because they switched jobs at some point, and are losing crucial retirement benefits because of it. |
