Hi,

I am working on OPT (optional practical training) on F1 visa.

I am exempt from FICA taxes (social security and medicare), can I still participate/contribute in 401k?

Where can I find rules in written as a proof. My univ. site mentions that on F1 I am exempt from FICA taxes but no mention of 401k (probably it has no connection, but just wondering).
