Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) FICA is an act of the federal government that requires employers and employees to pay taxes for the Social Security and Medicare benefits programs according to rates set by the federal government.
FICA is the Federal INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION Act under which CONTRIBUTIONS are TAXED to employees & employers that are not INVESTED to ensure retirees, disabled and children receive BENEFITS. Whereas pension plans are designed to be funded with less than 10% of wages to provide life time income after retirement, a 15%+ funding of social security may not be sufficient to provide less than the private pension plan.
