All members of Congress and all other federal employees hired since 1984 pay FICA.
Whether state and local employees pay varies by state.
A few public employees do not pay FICA/Medicare, but that number is decreasing.
All of the above ^_^
No not as long as they are employees.
Yes. Since 1983 government employees arecovered by SS/Fica like everyone else...and pay into it like everyone else. Before that (and still in some States and areas), they were allowed to contribute to and are/were covered by a program that is virtually identical to SS/FICA...minor differences, but nothing substantial really. More in name than anything.
The current FICA rate is 12.4%. Employees have 6.2% of their gross pay withheld each pay period, and the other 6.2% is matched by the employer. Self-employed individuals must pay the entire 12.4%
Yes we do.
employers pay the fica tax
FICA is the social program that is supported by deductions from the paychecks of American employees. Payroll taxes are calculated based on the amount of the taxpayers pay and are mandatory deductions. The programs that are deducted from the checks are social security taxes and the Medicare Program.
Taxes
