Medicare ---Is it right
(2) My employer started paying SS and medicare tax from Feb 1st 2006 ( the day my H- 1 B started). But i have received Statement of social security by saying that " you have been employed in work in which you did not pay Social Security taxes, such as some federal........" Any idea why is that? My pay stub shows that my employer paying SS and Medicare tax from Feb 1st 2006.
NB:- My 2005 W2 forms does not show any ammount for the SS tax.
I never been employed in any other work before besides my current job. During my Study ( F1) i had full scholarship from university
(3) Am i receving this type of Social Security statement because my employer did not pay SS and medicare tax during my OPT or my 2005 W2 forms does not show any SS tax?
(4) What should i do next?
Thanks for your help.
