§4594 Withholding and Remittance of State Income Tax by Secretary of Senate

Summary

The Secretary of the Senate will withhold state income tax from a Senate employee’s pay and send it to a State when the State’s law makes employers generally withhold taxes, the employee lives in that State, the employee’s pay comes from the Secretary, and the employee asks for the withholding. The amounts taken will follow the State’s normal employer withholding rules. The Secretary does not have to send the money more often than once each calendar quarter. An employee can have only one withholding request active at a time and no more than two different-State requests in the same calendar year. A request or a change takes effect on the first day of the first month after the Disbursing Office gets it, except the Secretary can set the start date when first agreeing with a State, and a new appointee’s request is effective on the appointment day if made then. The employee can revoke or change the request under the same timing rules. The Secretary may make rules and enter agreements as needed. This creates no other duties or penalties for the United States or the Senate beyond what is written. State: one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia.
