All employees of the University (United States citizens) who will be eligible to receive Social Security benefits, participate in the Federal Social Security Program. Students, off-campus faculty, and certain overload payments to regular employees are exempted by a state/federal agreement. Cost to the individual, matched by the University, is scheduled by Federal law as a percentage of a designated base salary, and deductions for the appropriate amount are taken from each salary check. In addition to retirement, disability, and survivor benefits, the Social Security Program provides hospitalization and medical insurance benefits after retirement.
