§ 51-111.8:1. Effective on the day that the Social Security Act is
amended so as to permit coverage of State employees who were in posi-
tions covered by a retirement system on the date that the agreement with
the Federal agency was made applicable, the State agency, with the
approval of the Governor, is authorized to enter, on behalf of the State,
into a modification of the original agreement with the federal agency
for the purpose of extending the benefits of the Federal Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance System to members of the State Police Officers Re-
tirement System and to such members of the Virginia Supplemental
Retirement Systenr as were excluded from such coverage under the
original agreement. Such coverage may be made retroactive to the earliest
effective date permitted by such amendment to the Social Security Act,
but in no event shall it cover any services performed prior to January
