This is incorrect. The conditions here are applicable to former employees who are collecting a pension from an employer that did NOT contribute to social security.
The number of people that this impacts is small but not insignificant. About 2 million people, or 3 percent of Social Security beneficiaries, according to a February 2023 report by the Congressional Research Service. Most are former federal workers who were hired before 1984, when the U.S. civil service was brought under the Social Security system, and ex-employees of some state and local government agencies.

Appreciate the clarification, I was not aware that some federal workers were outside of the social security system!
