SL: State and Local Coverage Handbook
BASIC (12-03)
Certain services are required to be excluded from Section 218 coverage. Some services, however, are optional exclusions under Section 218 and, therefore, may be covered under a Section 218 Agreement.
When an absolute or retirement system coverage group is covered under an agreement, the services of all employees who are members of the coverage group are covered unless they are required to be excluded from coverage under the State’s agreement.
