§ 571. Declaration of policy
In order to extend to employees of the State and its political subdivisions and to the dependents and survivors of those employees the basic protection accorded to others by the Old Age and Survivors Insurance System embodied in the Social Security Act, the State of Vermont authorizes and empowers the Treasurer of the State as a State agency to enter into appropriate agreements with the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the purpose of making available under the provisions of this chapter, to employees of the State and its political subdivisions, the benefits of the Social Security Act.
It is also the policy of the General Assembly that the federal-State agreement permitted by this chapter be made applicable to the services of all employees of the State of Vermont to the extent and in the manner permitted by the federal Social Security Act. (Amended 2025, No. 18, § 12, eff. May 13, 2025.)
