'Self-funded' benefit plans exempt from state regulation, Supreme Court rules. WASHINGTON -- Workers' benefits under plans funded by their own companies cannot be modified to satisfy state insurance laws, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday in a decision that may affect more than 10 million employees nationwide.
The law requires employers to withhold taxes from employee earnings to fund the Social Security and Medicare programs. These are called Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes. Your employer also pays a tax equal to the amount withheld from employee earnings. The self-employed pay Self-Employed Contributions Act (SECA) taxes on net earnings. SECA taxes also fund Social Security and Medicare. The self-employed pay both the employee and the employer share of SECA. But the law permits them to deduct half of the self-employment tax as a business expense.
