Deduction of tax withholding for individual contract providers
Status: in_force

(a) It is found and determined that certain rules and regulations of the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service require the deduction of Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding from persons providing services under individual purchase-of-service contracts, who are in fact independent contractors, or employees of the person receiving the service, and that there is presently no provision for payment of Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding for these individuals. It is further found and determined that the use of individual contracts is necessary to the operation of the Title XIX and Title XX programs, particularly in the areas of day care and services to the elderly. Therefore, whenever the regulations of the Social Security Administration or the Internal Revenue Service require the deduction of Federal Insurance Contributions Act or federal income tax withholding for an individual providing services under a Title XX individual purchase-of-service contract, the Department of Human Services may pay the necessary Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax out of federal funds and state or local donated matching funds and may collect the necessary Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding as agent for the client receiving the services. (b) Individuals for whom Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax is paid and Federal Insurance Contributions Act and federal income tax withholding is deducted under this section shall not be considered as employees of the state for the purposes of determining eligibility for unemployment compensation or workers' compensation, for the purpose of state income tax withholding, or for any other purposes.
