ENACTED 03/16/1999

SUBSTITUTE BILL NO. SO99-1529

A substitute ordinance to approve an amendment of the Section 218 Social Security Coverage Agreement between the Metropolitan Government and the Tennessee Old Age and Survivors Insurance Agency in order to exclude services performed by a student in the employ of a school, who is enrolled and regularly attends classes at such school.

Whereas, HR 4328, Public Law 105-273 Section 2023 authorizes states to modify Agreements with governmental entities to exclude from Social Security/Medicare coverage services performed by a student who is enrolled and regularly attends classes at such school with respect to services performed after June 30, 2000; and,

Whereas, pursuant to Federal law, the state's agreement with other governmental entities must be modified and approved on or after January 1, 1999, and on or before March 31, 1999, by the State Old Age & Survivors Insurance Agency and the Commissioner of Social Security; and

Whereas, it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Metropolitan Government and the Metropolitan Board of Education, to modify its agreement with the State of Tennessee so as to exclude from its coverage group the services of a student who is enrolled and regularly attends classes at such school.

Now, therefore, be it enacted by the Council of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County as follows:

Section 1: That the Amendment to the Section 218 Agreement between The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County and the Tennessee Old Age and Survivors Insurance Agency which excludes from Social Security Medicare coverage services performed by a student who is enrolled and regularly attends classes in such school be approved and that the Metropolitan Mayor is authorized to execute the same.

Section 2: This is Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon passage and approval, for all intents and purposes, except that the effective date to exclude student service from Social Security coverage, shall be for service performed after June 30, 2000, the welfare of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it.
