<prompt> Human: I am considering going to work for an employer in the USA that does not pay into social security. I went online and checked my estimated benefits on the social security website. I was given an estimated monthly benefit for retirement.Question: Will working for an employer that DOES NOT pay into social security have any impact on what my benefit will be? Also, I have 13-14 years of recorded work. Does this mean that I have met the threshold to receive benefits upon retirement?  <response>: Will working for an employer that DOES NOT pay into social security have any impact on what my benefit will be?Yes. Your benefits are based on your Social Security wages over your working lifetime. Most employers like this have their own pension system. Railroads, some police agencies, etc.
