ss-04

Social Security links/Questions.

Disability? As I read it, 10% of the money people normally pay for SS actually goes into Disability insurance etc. I wonder how this is handled with respect to Personal accounts. If a person takes 66% of his personal SS taxes for his personal account, does this mean that his disability payments will be decreased accordingly?

Annuity? We know that if a person chooses a personal account, their SS benefits will be decreased, though the exact figure is TBD. On the other hand is their personal account their own money, or do they have to purchase an annuity?, thus effectively only allowing them to have, as their own money, the "profit" of the account.
