Medicare

by Kathy

Aug 18, 2014

I've worked for CCSD for over 20 years. I'll be retiring soon. Will I qualify for Medicare, since Nevada doesn't take out for social security.

lol I have never heard of a employer not holding out Social Security taxes from a pay check. I didn't even know it was legal for them to do so.

Mark Social Security originally did not cover everyone. It has been extended but some of the exempt employees still remain. Some states and localities within those states which have pension plans are exempt from SS tases. Nevada and it's school districts are one of those exemptions.

Because FICA is a tax, the US Constitution prohibits the federal government to levy taxes on state and local governments. However, states and local governments can voluntarily participate in Social Security--they just can't be required to. About 14 states don't pay into it, but individual agencies in other states are also exempt. However, you are penalized royal as an employee if you work in any state or agency that does not pay into Social Security by way of the "offsets."
