What is the Social Security administrative fee?
Oregon public agencies must pay a fee to help cover some of the cost of administering Social Security coverage to Section 218 employees. The fees (charged on a prorated basis to each agency) are deposited into the state’s Social Security Revolving Account and used by the Public Employees Retirement Board of Trustees to administer Social Security coverage.

Your Social Security fee invoice is emailed to you in the second quarter of each year.
To pay your invoice, mail a check made out to “Social Security Administrator” to:
Oregon PERS
Data Services
Attn: State Social Security Program
PO Box 23700
Tigard, OR
97218-3700
|
The Social Security fee invoice appears on your EDX statement between June and July each year. The invoice is not clickable because the invoice is manually generated outside of the PERS reporting system.
You can pay the invoice along with your remittance statement through Automated Clearing House (ACH).

Why is the fee collected by PERS?
The Section 218 program for the state of Oregon is administered by PERS. However, the program is not connected to PERS services nor benefits. Not all Section 218 employers participate in PERS.
