The City does not participate in Social Security. Instead, employees are enrolled in the Municipal Employees Benefit Trust (MEBT) program. MEBT is an IRS Section 401(a) defined contribution savings program into which employees make before-tax contributions at the same rate as if they were in Social Security (a rate of 6.2% of gross earnings). The City will match the employee contribution at a rate of 80% (or 4.96% of gross salary) just as if enrolled in Social Security. One advantage of this program is employees are able to invest these funds in a variety of investments, which may offer a higher return than Social Security. On the other hand, the MEBT program is subject to an employee-vesting schedule of 20% per year for each of the first five years of employment.
