Topic: Social Security Section 218 Agreements and Government Entity Restructuring

Co-Hosted by: The Social Security Administration (SSA) and the National Conference of State Social Security Administrators (NCSSSA)

Section 218 agreements are voluntary arrangements between governmental entities and the Social Security Administration to provide social security and Medicare coverage for groups of employees, either in addition to, or in place of, coverage by a public retirement system. In order to properly determine the coverage of social security and Medicare for governmental employees, it is essential that governmental employers have an understanding of their state's Section 218 agreement.

 Learn about:

 

• What happens to the Social Security coverage of employees when two or more governmental entities combine?
• What is a predecessor/successor situation?
• What types of predecessor/successor situations are there?
• How are predecessor/successor situations identified?
• How are predecessor/successor situations handled?
