Ret. teacher,
Hi. You can't get a refund of the Social Security taxes you paid if that's what you're asking. Social Security taxes are required to be paid on any Social Security covered wages regardless of whether or not the person who earned the wages ever becomes eligible for Social Security benefits.
If you had at least 40 quarters (QC) of Social Security covered earnings and if you're at least age 62, you could potentially collect Social Security retirement benefits based on your Social Security covered earnings. Otherwise, unless you get to 40 QCs at some point in the future, the Social Security taxes you paid would be used to pay benefits to other people who qualify for benefits.
Best, Jerry
