shall agree upon, but, except as may be otherwise required by or under the Social Security Act as
to the services to be covered, such agreement must provide in effect that:
(1) benefits will be provided for employees whose services are covered by the agreement
(and their dependents and survivors) on the same basis as though those services constituted
employment within the meaning of title II of the Social Security Act;
(2) the state or other employer will pay to the federal Secretary of the Treasury, at such time
or times as may be prescribed under the Social Security Act, contributions with respect to wages,
equal to the sum of the taxes which would be imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act
if the services covered by the agreement constituted employment within the meaning of that act;
(3) the agreement is effective with respect to services in employment covered by the
agreement performed after a date specified therein; and
(4) all services which constitute employment and are performed in the employ of the state or
any of its political subdivisions by employees thereof, may be covered by the agreement.

whereby the benefits of the federal old age, survivors, and disability insurance system are
extended to employees of the instrumentality;
(2) require its employees to pay (and for that purpose to deduct from their wages)
contributions equal to the amounts which they would be required to pay under section 355.03,
subdivision 1 , if they were covered by an agreement made under subdivision 1; and
(3) make payments to the federal secretary of the treasury in accordance with that agreement,
including payments from its own funds, and otherwise to comply with those agreements.

provisions of subdivision 1 and other provisions of this chapter.

coverage by submitting a formal resolution to the director, including therein the desired starting
date for Social Security coverage.

each local governmental subdivision or special authority or district, and the elected officials in
a local governmental subdivision or in a special authority or district must be treated separately
and independently from the other governmental subdivisions.
    Subd. 4. Referendum. The director shall authorize and supervise a referendum under
section 218(d)(6)(C) of the Social Security Act to be held on the date or dates set by the

Social Security Act have been met, must so certify to the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

355.03 MS 1957 [Renumbered 3.29, subd 3]
355.03 EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS, CONTRIBUTIONS.
    Subdivision 1. Employee contribution amount. Every employee of the state, or of any of
its political subdivisions, whose services are covered by the agreement entered into under section
355.02 must pay for the period of the coverage, contributions with respect to wages, equal to the
amount of the employee's tax which would be imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions
Act if those services constituted employment within the meaning of that act. This liability arises
in consideration of the employee's retention in the service of the state, or any of its political
subdivisions, or the employee's entry upon that service, after April 22, 1955.
    Subd. 2. Employee deduction. The contribution imposed by this section must be collected
by the covered employee's employer by deducting the amount of the contribution from wages as
and when paid. The failure to make such deduction does not relieve the employee from liability
for such contribution.
    Subd. 2a. Employer contribution. (a) Employer contributions that are required under the
agreement must be paid by the applicable employing unit.
(b) Employer contributions on behalf of St. Paul teachers, Duluth teachers, Minneapolis
teachers, or education employees may be paid from normal school operating funds. Employer
contributions on behalf of state employees must be paid by the applicable department or agency
from its appropriation or other revenue, in the same proportion as salaries are paid, and must be
charged as an administrative cost of the state governmental unit.
(c) Employing units may pay the employer contribution from taxes collected or from other
governmental revenue. An employing unit may include in its tax levy the amount necessary to
pay its Social Security obligations. If the taxes authorized to be levied cause the total levy amount
to exceed any limitation on the power of the employing unit to levy taxes, the unit may still levy
the necessary amount. The employing unit, in the event of a deficit, may issue debt obligations,
payable in not more than two years, in an amount which may cause its indebtedness to exceed
any limitation without holding an election and may levy taxes to amortize the indebtedness.
The authorized Social Security expenditures must not be included in computing the cost of
government for purposes of any home rule charter or other charter.
(d) If the required employer contribution for Social Security is increased and, as a result
of that increase, there is insufficient money available to a state governmental unit, there is
appropriated to the state department or agency from the general fund the amount required to meet
the deficiency, based on certifications from the director to the commissioner of finance. The
transfer of the appropriated amount may only occur after the commissioner of finance notifies the
chair and ranking minority member of the house Committee on Ways and Means and the chair
and ranking minority member of the senate Finance Committee of the amount to be transferred.
(e) For members of the general state employees retirement plan of the Minnesota State
Retirement System who are employed by the State Horticultural Society, the Department
of Minnesota for the Disabled American Veterans organization, the Department of
Minnesota of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization, the Minnesota Crop Improvement
Association, the Minnesota Historical Society, the Armory Building Commission, and the
Minnesota-Wisconsin-Minneapolis-St. Paul survival plan project, the applicable employing unit
must pay the employer contribution from any revenue source that it has.
    Subd. 3. Adjustments; refunds. If more or less than the correct amount of the contribution
imposed by this section is paid or deducted with respect to any remuneration, proper adjustments,
or refund if adjustment is impracticable, must be made, without interest, in such manner and at
such times as the director prescribes.
    Subd. 4. Delinquent payments. Delinquent payments that are due under this chapter, with
compound interest at the rate of six percent per annum, may be recovered by legal action in a
court of competent jurisdiction against an employing unit that is liable for the amount. The
director may request that the delinquent payment and interest amount be deducted from any other
money that is payable to the applicable employing unit by any department or agency of the state.
An action for the recovery of delinquent payments is not subject to any statutory provision that
would otherwise limit the time within which an action may be commenced.

(a) In order to extend to employees of the state, its political subdivisions, and its other

protection to employees of the state and its political subdivisions on as broad a basis as may be
authorized by the legislature and is permitted under the Social Security Act.
(b) It is also the policy of the legislature that the protection afforded employees in positions
covered by a retirement system on the date an agreement under this chapter is made applicable to
service performed in those positions, or receiving periodic benefits under the retirement system at
that time, will not be impaired as a result of making the agreement so applicable or as a result
of legislative enactment in anticipation thereof when combined with the benefits accorded the
employee by the Social Security Act.

to any service performed in any position covered by a retirement system unless a referendum
is first held by secret ballot in which a majority of "eligible employees," as defined in section
218(d) (3) of the Social Security Act, vote in favor thereof, or unless a retirement system is
divided in two divisions or parts, one of which is composed of positions of members of the
system who desire coverage and one of which is composed of positions of members of the system
who do not desire coverage under section 218(d) (3) of the Social Security Act, in accordance
with subsections (6) and (7) thereof.
(d) Nothing in any provision of this chapter authorizes the extension of the insurance system
established by this chapter, to service in any police officer's or firefighter's position or in any
position covered by a retirement system applicable exclusively to positions in one or more law
enforcement or fire fighting units, agencies or departments.

355.629 SECOND SOCIAL SECURITY REFERENDUM.
    Subdivision 1. Election of Social Security coverage. Any member of the legislators
retirement plan established under chapter 3A who did not elect coverage under an agreement under
section 218(d) of the Social Security Act as provided for in section 355.624 is entitled to elect
future Social Security coverage and retroactive coverage for the period consistent with applicable
federal law, in a second Social Security referendum. Any member who so elects shall become a
member of the coordinated program of the legislators retirement plan under section 3A.15. The
governor shall set a date for the referendum and shall undertake any duties to amend the state's
Social Security Act, section 218 agreement, with the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
    Subd. 2. Payment of retroactive Social Security taxes. For any service by a legislator who
is in office on the date of the agreement or modification of the agreement with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, the executive director of the Minnesota State Retirement System
shall cause to be paid an amount for each legislator, including an amount for retroactive coverage,
equal to the taxes which would have been imposed on the legislator and state of Minnesota by the
Federal Insurance Contributions Act had the service been covered at the time performed. This
payment shall be computed from the date of retroactive coverage to the date that deductions are
first taken from the wages of each legislator for Social Security coverage. Before making a
payment on behalf of a legislator, the executive director must receive from the legislator the
funds necessary to make the payment. Nothing in this section shall require a legislator to elect
retroactive Social Security coverage.
    Subd. 3. Deduction from wages. A legislator who elects Social Security coverage under
this section shall have a deduction taken from wages in an amount equal to the employer and
employee contributions required by either subdivision 1 or subdivision 2.
