Federal employees - do you pay into social security?

I got invite to a conference call last night by my representative Ginny Brown-Waite. One question was if she was under a special retirement. She said no, she was just like everyone else - like the postal workers. And that she was paying social security taxes. Last time I talked to a federal employee they were not paying those taxes. But that was a while ago.

2. Yes. They changed retirement systems some time ago.

I don't know when exactly (10-20 yrs ago). But everyone now pays into Social Security.
