Montana Title 19. Public Retirement Systems § 19-1-705. Deduction of employee contribution by political subdivision

(1) Each political subdivision required to make payment under 19-1-704 shall, in consideration of the employee's retention in or entry into employment impose upon each of its employees, as to services that are covered by an approved plan, a contribution with respect to wages, not exceeding the amount of the employee tax that would be imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act if the services constituted employment within the meaning of that act and shall deduct the amount of the contributions from wages paid.

(2) Contributions collected partially discharge the liability of the political subdivision or instrumentality under 19-1-704. Failure to deduct the contribution does not relieve the employee or employer of liability for the contributions.
