				  employee" for purposes of reporting for Social Security and retirement annuity
				  coverage. It also clarifies PERS' responsibilities for collecting and reporting
				  Social Security Contributions.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 27 - STATE PERSONNEL BOARD › Part 210 - PERS, Regulations for Retirement Plans Administered by the Board of Trustees › Chapter 01 - Classification and Reporting of State Employees › Section 27-210-01-101 - Definition of State Employee for Social Security and Retirement Annuity Purposes

Current through June 25, 2024
State employees are hereby defined as those who are under the
				  control and direction of a state department, institution or agency. Each
				  employee so covered shall be paid by the agency from funds under its control,
				  or on the basis of budgets prepared by the agency, whether the funds involved
				  are appropriated, donated or secured from Federal Government or from local
				  units of state government, but which funds are mingled with the general funds
				  or budgets of the agency, or into any fund of the State Treasury; provided that
				  employees who are paid directly and solely from funds of a unit of local
				  government, which funds are appropriated specifically for the operation of a
				  department under the supervision, direction and jurisdiction of a state
				  institution or agency, and which funds are expended on the basis of budgets
				  prepared by the state agency and adopted by the local unit of government, shall
				  be considered as state employees. Employees paid directly and solely from funds

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 27 - STATE PERSONNEL BOARD › Part 210 - PERS, Regulations for Retirement Plans Administered by the Board of Trustees › Chapter 01 - Classification and Reporting of State Employees › Section 27-210-01-102 - Reporting of State Employees for Social Security Contributions

Current through June 25, 2024
1. Reporting for periods prior to January 1,
				1987
Prior to December 31, 1986, the state department, institution
				  or agency which has the control and direction of state employees is responsible
				  for the collection and remittance of the employees' contributions and the
				  remittance of the employers' contributions, and have total responsibility for
				  reporting such collections for each employee and for making the employers'
				  contributions for each employee to the board.
2. Reporting for periods from and after from
				and after January 1, 1987
The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1986 changed the manner in
				  which Social Security contributions are deposited by State and local government
				  employers. This legislation placed State and local employers under the Internal
				  Revenue Service provisions with respect to the schedule for frequency of
				  deposits and interest charges and penalties for late deposits. The law removed
				  from the State the intermediary role of collecting Social Security payments
				  from local governments and relieved the State from liability for verifying and
				  depositing such payments with respect to payments due on wages paid after
				  December 31, 1986.

				  et seq. (1972, as amended)], from the salary of school employees employed for

				  $1200 per year, payable monthly on a pro-rata basis. Example: A teacher having
				  a contract for $1600 for the school year of 8 months and receiving $200 per
				  month would not pay on the first $150 per month of her salary, as she has only
				  an 8 months contract and 8 x $150 = $1200. She would therefore contribute
				  4[CENT] of $200 minus $150, or 4[CENT] of $50 per month or $2 per month to
				  Article II, [now Article III beginning at Miss. Code Ann. §
										25-11-101
				  et seq. (1972, as amended)]. However, if she works in other public employment
				  the other 4 months during the year, she would pay 4[CENT] of her total salary
				  for these months as she will get her $1200 exemption from her school
				  service.
