Master Commissioner

Master Commissioners are considered employees of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for social security purposes pursuant to Section 218 of the Social Security Act. This is in recognition of the fact that these officials perform services for the Commonwealth as an officer and should be entitled to the same privilege accorded other state employees in social security coverage.

Multiple Reports (Jan 1, 2007) In the past the Social Security Coverage and Reporting Branch had accepted multiple reports which were accompanied by one check, however this has caused problems within our database. Consequently, effective immediately, our office will no longer accept reports sent in this manner. Any reports received by our office that are accompanied by one check paying the combined tax amounts on multiple reports will be returned.

Reporting requirements for Form SS-16 are that each report is to be accompanied by one check for the total amount of the social security and medicare taxes. Reporting requirements for Form SS-16a are that each report is to be accompanied by three checks, one check for total amount of the social security and medicare taxes, one check for the total amount of federal income tax, and one check for the total amount of state income tax.
