No, it's not false; both employers and employees pay the same percentage for Social Security tax. As of 2023, each pays 6.2% on earnings up to a certain income cap. However, employers also contribute an additional 1.45% for Medicare tax, which employees also pay, leading to a total payroll tax contribution that is higher than what employees individually pay.
