At the 2006 National Conference of State Social Security Administrators (NCSSSA), the IRS introduced the Federal, State, & Local Governments (FSLG) Toolkit designed to simplify the jobs of government entities and payroll officers. The Toolkit, which can be accessed from the IRS website (www.irs.gov), is composed of two parts: Public Employer’s Toolkit; and Compliance Toolkit.
During 2007 Social Security beneficiaries will receive a 3.3% cost-of-living increase for benefits payable in 2007 and the Social Security Taxable earnings base will increase to $97,500 from $94,200. Information about Medicare changes for 2007 can be found at www.cms.hhs.gov.
