Galveston County retirees weigh private plan against Social Security
In Galveston Texas a private retirement plan for county workers long praised by proponents faces scrutiny from those who say Social Security would have offered steadier cost of living and retirement security. Officials note the Galveston model pools 6.2 percent of salary plus contributions, managed by First Financial Benefits Inc., with returns claimed higher than Social Security but critics cite inflation indexing and withdrawal limits. Evelyn Robison, a long time county worker, says Social Security would have paid more for her and that the private plan is not a full replacement.
