If your entity employs emergency workers on a temporary basis "in the case of fire, storm, snow, earthquake, flood or other similar emergency," social security is not withheld. Please note that "temporary emergency worker" does not include individuals who are employed as fire fighters or police in regular positions. Attached for your files please find Oregon's Modification No. 284 excluding temporary emergency workers from coverage.
