My wife is a part time worker at a public school, working only a few hours each week. We just learned that she was enrolled in a mandatory retirement plan. She involuntarily contributes to the plan each pay period, and will not vest unless she has 10 years in the system, which she does not plan to have since she is quitting in a few weeks. The mandatory plan disadvantages us by $1,200 for 2007 taxes.
I want to get her out of the plan retroactively and get a new W2 for 2007. We have called the school district and they are not helpful at all.
We agree to forefit the money paid (and money which will be paid), we just want her out of the plan for tax purposes.
Is it legal for the state of Michigan to force her to participate in the plan? (We don't have paperwork that indicates this.)
I know this question is similar to the other question about retirement plan, but since it is Michigan and a forced contribution (which we are willing to do without), I thought I would post this question.
Any ideas how we can get out of the plan for 2007 and 2008?
Thanks,
