Local Governments Quit Social Security Program
Washington AP reports rising local government withdrawals from Social Security as inflation and unemployment strain federal benefits. Officials note no current solvency impact and continued growth in total workers covered, with 322 withdrawals since 1959 and 53 187 notices pending. Alaska leads with state workers seeking exit, while New York City weighs leaving 230 000 employees to save about 200 million annually. Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments finds private plans could offer earlier retirement and different benefit structures, reducing local costs while preserving survivor benefits.
