public retirement system within the meaning of IRC Section 3121(b)(7)(F) and meets all of the following requirements:

before April 1, 1986;
• The employee was a bona fide employee of that employer on March 31, 1986;
• The employment relationship with that employer was not entered into for purposes of avoiding the Medicare tax; and
• The employment relationship with that employer been continuous since March 31, 1986.
Note: The IRC also exempts employees performing the following services from mandatory Social Security and Medicare taxes:
• Services performed by individuals hired to be relieved from unemployment.
• Services performed in a hospital, home or other institution by a patient or inmate thereof as an employee of a state or local
government.
• Services performed by an employee hired on a temporary basis in case of fire, storm, snow, earthquake, flood or similar
emergency.
• Services performed by a nonresident alien temporarily residing in the U.S. holding an F-1, J-1, M-1 or Q-1 visa, when the services
are performed to carry out the purpose for which the alien was admitted to the U.S.
• Services in positions compensated solely by fees received directly from the public are subject to SECA (Self-Employment
Contributions Act) taxes, unless a Section 218 Agreement covers these services.
• Services performed by a student enrolled and regularly attending classes at the school, college or university for which they are
working, unless a section 218 Agreement covers these services. Refer to
for the student exclusions for each state.
• Services performed by election officials or election workers paid less than the calendar year threshold amount mandated by law
unless a Section 218 Agreement covers election workers.
• Services that would be excluded if performed for a private employer because they are not work defined as employment under
Section 210(a) of the Social Security Act
