Latest version.
  • 1. The director is hereby
      authorized, on behalf of the state, to enter into an agreement with  the
      federal  secretary  for  the  purpose of extending old-age and survivors
      insurance coverage  to  eligible  employees  of  the  state  or  of  any
      political subdivision.
        2.  The  agreement  with  the federal secretary shall provide that the
      state will pay to the secretary of the treasury of the United States, at
      such time or times  as  may  be  prescribed  under  the  federal  social
      security  act,  contributions with respect to wages, equal to the sum of
      the taxes which would be imposed by sections thirty-one hundred one  and
      thirty-one  hundred eleven of the federal insurance contributions act if
      the services covered by such agreement constituted employment within the
      meaning of that act. Such agreement also  may  contain  such  provisions
      relating  to  coverage,  benefits,  contributions, adjustments, refunds,
      administration, effective date,  modification  and  termination  of  the
      agreement  and such other appropriate provisions as the director and the
      federal secretary may agree upon and  which  are  consistent  with  this
      article  and  the  federal  social  security act. Such agreement, or any
      modification thereof, may be made retroactive where  authorized  by  the
      federal social security act.
        3. Such agreement shall apply to:
        a.  All  services which constitute employment and are performed in the
      employ of the state by employees thereof, provided,  however,  that  the
      director may exclude from coverage under such agreement, or modification
      thereof,  in accordance with the federal social security act, classes of
      employment where he shall determine that old-age and survivors insurance
      coverage for such classes is impracticable; and
        b. All services which constitute employment and are performed  in  the
      employ  of  a  political  subdivision,  whether  or  not  covered  by an
      agreement entered into pursuant to section  one  hundred  thirty-six  of
      this  chapter,  provided,  however,  that  the director may exclude from
      coverage under such agreement, or modification  thereof,  in  accordance
      with  the  federal  social  security act, classes of employment where he
      shall determine that old-age and survivors insurance coverage  for  such
      classes is impracticable.
        4.  Any  instrumentality  jointly  created by this state and any other
      state or  states  is  hereby  authorized,  upon  the  granting  of  like
      authority  by such other state or states, (a) to enter into an agreement
      with the federal secretary to provide old-age  and  survivors  insurance
      benefits  to  employees  of  such  instrumentality,  (b)  to require its
      employees to pay (and for that  purpose  to  deduct  from  their  wages)
      contributions  equal  to  the  tax  which  would  be  imposed by section
      thirty-one hundred one of the federal insurance contributions  act,  (c)
      to  make  payments  to  the secretary of the treasury in accordance with
      such agreement, including payments from  its  own  funds  equal  to  the
      amount  of  the tax which would be imposed by section thirty-one hundred
      eleven of the federal insurance contributions act, and (d) otherwise  to
      comply with such agreements.
