In 2007, 73% of state and local gov¿t. employees were covered by Social Security (SS). Unlike the private sector where most employees are covered by SS, federal law generally permits each public employer to decide which employees to cover. The Social Security Admin. (SSA) is responsible for facilitating SS coverage for these employers through agreements with states. SSA is also responsible for maintaining accurate earnings records, while the IRS ensures SS taxes are paid. Because of the need to ensure that SS coverage is administered accurately, this report reviewed: (1) how SSA works with states to approve SS coverage and ensure accurate coverage of public employees; and (2) how IRS identifies incorrect SS taxes for public employees.
