One thing to keep in mind is that having earnings not covered by social security is not the trigger from WEP.Sounds like the TA job was long ago, so likely no easy way to double check if you indeed did not contribute to SS while in that position. If SS is in error, of course, you'll want to contact about them. If they are not in error, then you'll want to make sure you familiarize yourself with WEP. WEP can be a very nasty surprise if your SS benefits are unexpectly affected by it.
Having a pension (including a lump sum pension) from earnings not covered by social security is the trigger for WEP. If the TA job didn't result in a pension, then WEP is not a concern.
