[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council (now Municipal Council)
of the Borough of Monroeville (now Municipality of Monroeville) 11-17-1952 by Ord. No. 15. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the considered opinion of this body that the extension
of the social security system to employees and officers of the Municipality
of Monroeville will be of great benefit not only to the employees
and officers of the Municipality, by providing that said employees
and officers may participate in the provisions of the old age and
survivors insurance system, but will also be of great benefit to the
Municipality of Monroeville by enabling it to attract and retain in
employment the best of personnel and thus increase the efficiency
of its government.
The 1951 Session of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, in regular session, enacted a statute, known as Act.
No. 491,[1] which is the enabling act provided for in § 218
of Public Law 734, 81st Congress, which designated the Secretary of
Labor and Industry of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to act as the
state agency to implement the coverage of employees and officers under
said old age and survivors insurance system.
