HR and Benefits: Active Employee Handbook

Social Security

Social Security pays you a regular monthly benefit when you retire, become disabled or die. Your dependents may also be eligible for Social Security benefits when you retire, become disabled or die.

When combined with your Metro service pension, personal savings, and other sources of retirement income, your Social Security benefits can help you enjoy a financially secure future.

Eligibility
All Metro employees hired after 1963 are required by federal law to contribute to Social Security and are therefore eligible for this benefit.
