Do NJ police officers pay in to social security?

State of NJ Police & Fireman did not contribute to the social security system until the early 1990. In the early 1990 a law was passed declaring that Social Security would be deducted from all State Police & Fireman. After that all State Police & Fireman that were hired started to pay into the system and are now entitled to the full benefit of Social Security.

Police & Fireman hired before the change of law "to deduct social security from Police & Fireman". They are not entitled to collect Social Security unless they contributed 40 Quarters from other employers that they worked for during their

employment years.
