Federal Social Security
Eligible University employees participate in the federal Social Security
program. Full-time registered students are exempted by a state/federal
agreement. Cost to the individual, matched by the University, is scheduled
by federal law as a percentage of a designated base salary, and deductions
for the appropriate amount are taken from each salary check. In addition
to retirement, disability, and survivor benefits, the Social Security
program provides post-retirement health care coverage through medicare.
