North Dakota § 52-10-01

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 52: Social Security
• Ch. 52-10: Public Employees Under Federal Social Security

Text

In order to extend to employees of the state and political subdivisions within the state, and
to the dependents and survivors of such employees, the basic protection accorded to others by
the old-age and survivor insurance system embodied in the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 301
et seq.], it is hereby declared the policy of the legislative assembly, subject to the limitations of
this chapter, that such steps be taken as to provide such protection to employees of the state
and political subdivisions within the state on as broad a basis as is permitted under the Social
Security Act [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.]. It is the policy also of the legislative assembly that the
protection afforded employees in positions covered by a retirement system on the date an
agreement under this chapter is made applicable to service performed in such positions, or
receiving periodic benefits under such retirement system at such time, will not be impaired as a
result of making the agreement so applicable or as a result of legislative enactment in
anticipation thereof.
