Social Security officials told City Council that all elected and appointed part time workers must be covered. The city may need about $900 added to next year’s budget to cover back employer contributions. Alfred J. Pettinani of SS outlined that councilmen, the solicitor, and the fire chiefs are treated as full time despite not spending all day on duties. Overpayments may lead to refunds, retroactive coverage existed since 1951, and most affected officials oppose new deductions. The city was found in error after an SS field review.
