the terms and provisions of this act for the purpose of
extending the benefits of the federal old age and survivors'
insurance system to employees of the state, or any political

by or under the Social Security Act as to the services to be
covered, the agreement shall provide in effect that:

their dependents and survivors, whose services are covered by
the agreement on the same basis as though the services
constituted employment within the meaning of Title II of the
Social Security Act;
(ii) The state will pay to the secretary of the
treasury, at times as prescribed under the Social Security Act,
contributions with respect to wages equal to the sum of the
taxes which would be imposed by sections 1400 and 1410 of the
Federal Insurance Contributions Act if the services covered by
the agreement constituted employment within the meaning of that
act;
(iii) The agreement is effective with respect to
services in employment performed after a date specified therein,
or in any modification thereof;
(iv) All services which constitute employment and are
performed in the employ of the state or any of its political
subdivisions shall be covered by the agreement.
(b) Any instrumentality jointly created by this state and
any other state or states, upon the granting of like authority
by the other state or states, may:
(i) Enter into an agreement with the federal security
administrator whereby the benefits of the federal old age and
survivors' insurance system shall be extended to employees of
the instrumentality;
(ii) Require its employees to pay (and for that
purpose to deduct from their wages) contributions equal to the
amounts which they would be required to pay under W.S.
9-3-304(a) if they were covered by an agreement made pursuant to
subsection (a) of this section; and
(iii) Make payments to the secretary of the treasury
in accordance with the agreement, including payments from its
own funds, and otherwise to comply with the agreement.
(c) The agreement under subsection (b) of this section
shall, to the extent practicable, be consistent with other
provisions of this act.
