Where a city has entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth to place its employes under the Federal Social Security Act, the board shall appoint an actuary, and may fix his compensation. The actuary shall determine the present value of the liability on account of pensions payable under the provisions of section four of this act to employes who are members of the system on the effective date of the agreement, and shall offset the value of any assets in the pension fund to determine the unfunded liability. The city may make such payments as it desires towards the unfunded liability until the accumulated reserve equals the present value of the liability. The actuary shall also determine the amount which shall be contributed, annually, into the fund on account of service of all new and original members subsequent to the date of the agreement.
Officers and employes shall pay to the board, monthly, an amount equal to three and one-half percentum of that portion of monthly compensation on which social security allowances are payable and five per centum of any monthly compensation in excess of that on which social security allowances are payable. The remainder of the needed annual contribution for service subsequent to the date of the agreement, as determined by the actuary, shall become the obligation of the city and shall be paid by it to the board by annual appropriations. The provisions of this section shall, in all applicable cases, supersede the provisions relating to contributions in section 5 and section 10 of this act.
