Sec. 5-158d. Payment by part A member for such participation. Each state
employee who is a member of the state employees retirement system, part A, may, upon
the enactment of and pursuant to federal-enabling legislation, elect to be covered by
Social Security and, from the date of such election, he shall pay his required Social
Security contribution. If the federal-enabling legislation shall allow such employee to
be covered by Social Security retroactively, then, upon payment to the state employees
retirement system by such employee of the amount required to be paid by him as an
employee, the state shall take all the necessary steps and make all the necessary payments
to the federal government to effectuate such Social Security coverage. The payment for
retroactive coverage may be made in accordance with a payment schedule, without
interest, as may be established by the State Employees Retirement Commission. Upon
payment of all necessary contributions by such employee, upon retirement he shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to any Social Security benefits, his full retirement salary
as a member of part A of the state employees retirement system.
