Form SSA-1945

Employees who start a SURS-eligible job at the University of Illinois must review and submit the Social Security Administration Form SSA-1945: Statement Concerning Your Employment in a Job Not Covered by Social Security. This form is often completed in UI New Hire, but you may need to complete it here if you had a job change.

Form SSA-1945 informs employees who are covered by SURS that their job earnings are subject to Medicare taxes, but they do not earn Social Security credits or benefits from their position. The form was updated in March 2025 to reflect the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, which repealed the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO).

Social Security publications and additional information are available on the Social Security website. You may also call toll free 1-800-772-1213, or for the deaf or hard of hearing call the TTY number 1-800-325-0778, or contact your local Social Security office, for more information.
