I still work. What I am saying is that because the medical insurance payments are coming out of pretax dollars, unless your salary is more than the maximum taxable amount for Social Security, the amount that SS will use when calculating your benefits when you go to collect will be the lower amount and thus your SS benefit will be lower. This could be significant depending on the cost of the insurance.
The medical insurance didn't use to be pretax dollars. Do you know when the changed the law? It also means I lose $7000 to $8000 in other medical deductions. Not a good thing.
