Education Code section 92613

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that this section is intended to satisfy the requirements prescribed by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA). Section 3121(b)(7)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code requires that employees of the University of California must be covered by social security, or, in the alternative, be provided benefits through a qualified pension plan or annuity program. Therefore, to facilitate compliance with these requirements, the Legislature hereby encourages and empowers the Regents of the University of California to take all steps necessary to implement a qualified defined contribution plan for their employees, and to that end to withhold as deferred compensation from the wages otherwise payable to those employees up to 7.5 percent of wages, as the term “wages” is defined for social security purposes, or the other amount as may be required as an alternative to social security contributions.
