Question abt NC PENSION

[XanaDUer2]

I've just learned I'll owe $6600 dental fee. I'm disabled. I may be able to get my pension early due to going out of work early.

I'm on ssdi.

Has anyone know if i get the NC pension, it may lower either the benefit of the pension or ssdi? I'm trying to reach social security.

Anyone experience anything like taking pension early due to disability?

1. It would lower your final monthly benefit amount.

A call to the state pension office should tell you, by how much. That way, you can make a determination. If possible, delay it.

2. I called social security

Over an hrs wait. Got an angry worker who told me it will lower my ssdi payment.

3. ETA

She said it would even lower my SS if i filed when I'm 67. I'm beyond angry. I worked in a horrible job for 9 yrs to "vest"

5. I called the local SS office

Got a nicer person. Bc i paid SS taxes, she said I CAN collect SS and it will not be offset by the pension. But, the pension may be offset by the SSDI. I've emailed the state office to see.
