Official statutory text
(a) The state treasurer with the approval of the governor may enter on behalf of the state into an agreement with the federal security administrator or his successor, consistent with the terms and provisions of this act for the purpose of extending the benefits of the federal old age and survivors' insurance system to employees of the state, or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to services which constitute employment. The agreement may contain provisions relating to coverage, benefits, contributions, effective date, modification and termination of the agreement, administration, and other appropriate provisions which the state treasurer and federal
security administrator agree upon. Except as otherwise required by or under the Social Security Act as to the services to be covered, the agreement shall provide in effect that:
(i) Benefits will be provided for employees, and their dependents and survivors, whose services are covered by the agreement on the same basis as though the services constituted employment within the meaning of Title II of the Social Security Act;
(ii) The state will pay to the secretary of the treasury, at times as prescribed under the Social Security Act, contributions with respect to wages equal to the sum of the taxes which would be imposed by sections 1400 and 1410 of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act if the services covered by the agreement constituted employment within the meaning of that act;
(iii) The agreement is effective with respect to services in employment performed after a date specified therein, or in any modification thereof;
(iv) All services which constitute employment and are performed in the employ of the state or any of its political subdivisions shall be covered by the agreement.
(b) Any instrumentality jointly created by this state and any other state or states, upon the granting of like authority by the other state or states, may:
(i) Enter into an agreement with the federal security administrator whereby the benefits of the federal old age and survivors' insurance system shall be extended to employees of the instrumentality;
(ii) 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 W.S. 9-3-304(a) if they were covered by an agreement made pursuant to subsection (a) of this section; and
(iii) Make payments to the secretary of the treasury in accordance with the agreement, including payments from its own funds, and otherwise to comply with the agreement.
(c) The agreement under subsection (b) of this section shall, to the extent practicable, be consistent with other provisions of this act.
