The state of Nebraska had a section 219 agreement with social security to provide state employees with federal old age insurance benefits.

The state challenged an assessment for a justice of the peace and a constable, claiming that they were not subject to the control typical of an employer/employee relationship.

However, their duties were set out in state statutory and constitutional law. They were considered employees whose wages were covered under the section 218 agreement.
