Latest version.
  • The employer's share of the contribution required to be paid by the state to the federal government under the provisions of Public Law 734 and applicable provisions of the Federal Internal Revenue Code, as authorized by Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes beginning at Section 121, shall be reserved out of funds available for salaries appropriated or dedicated to each state department, institution or agency at the time payrolls are prepared for payment and shall be set aside in a reserve account in the State Treasury to be paid to the federal government at such time or times as the Federal Security Administrator may by regulations require.

    For the purposes of Sections 211 through 215 of this title "dedicated funds" shall include the State Highway Construction and Maintenance Fund, Employment Security Administration Fund, Department of Human Services Administration Fund, revolving funds of all state departments and institutions, Federal Grant-in-aid Funds, Trust and Agency Funds, and any other operating funds of state agencies through which public money is disbursed for specific purposes which do not require specific legislative appropriations to be made.

    State agencies making payment of salaries or wages to state employees, independent of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, shall deduct the employees' share of the contribution at the time payments are made and shall at the same time set up a reserve out of the same fund for the employer's share to guarantee the availability of funds when the social security report is required to be made.  Any funds received for per diem, travel reimbursement, or expenses incurred while in the performance of official duties and specified statutory amounts received by board or commission members shall not be considered compensation.
