For Assistance and Further Information After Completing the Form:
An FSLG Specialist can help you interpret the results of the self-assessment and ensure that you know what, if any, steps you need to
take to be fully compliant with all applicable federal tax laws, rules and regulations. The names and contact information for FSLG staff

Information.
The FSLG Specialist may recommend that you contact your State Social Security Administrator for clarifications and information about
a Section 218 Agreement or Modification, how to obtain Medicare-only coverage for Medicare-exempt employees or other similar
information. Each state has unique laws governing voluntary social security and Medicare coverage. Agreements for state and local
governments can be obtained through the NCSSSA. You may also contact SSA for additional information about coverage and benefits
under social security and Medicare.

specific nature of the tax error, the employees affected and their proposed resolution. The letter should be submitted to the following
