§218 Social Security Agreement
State and local government employees are covered for Social Security and Medicare through a Section 218 Agreement between the State and the Social Security Administration or mandatorily under Federal law if not covered by a retirement system.
Social Security Administration’s regulation 20 CFR 404.1204 requires each State to designate at least one State Official to act for the State in administering that State’s Section 218 Agreement. This official, the State Social Security Administrator, acts for the State with respect to its responsibilities for maintaining and administering the provisions of the agreement. In Idaho, the designated State Official is the elected State Controller.
