Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Federal social security.  Requires that a local governing body's resolution requesting that its eligible employees become members of the Virginia Retirement System shall not be approved by the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Retirement System unless the locality has first entered into a plan of agreement to extend benefits under the Social Security Act to its employees. The bill also names the director of the Virginia Retirement System as the state social security administrator, and allows him, rather than the Board, to adopt rules and policies necessary for the administration of the Social Security Act. The state social security administrator may, with the approval of the Board, submit and agree to modifications to the agreement with the federal government concerning coverage, benefits, and administration of the Social Security Act. The state social security administrator will be tasked with carrying out all functions required of him by the Social Security Act, including but not limited to negotiating the inclusion of additional coverage groups, resolve coverage and taxation issues, and negotiate with the federal government to resolve social security contribution payment and reporting questions for wages paid before 1987. The bill also contains several definitional and technical changes.
