PensionPro Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Must international students covered under plan if they met the age/service/compensation requirement? International students are not excludible. Nonresident alien employees who did not earn U.S. source income are excludible. PensionPro, CPC, TGPC
PensionPro Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 What are "international students" ? 'International students’ are defined as students who are enrolled at institutions of higher education in the US who are not citizens of the US, immigrants or refugees. PensionPro, CPC, TGPC
rcline46 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 If they do not have a work visa, how are they employed? If they only have a student visa, then they cannot hold a paying job, as I understand it. I think this need further investigation as something seems out of kilter.

I think this need further investigation as something seems out of kilter. The rules for employment of international students are somewhat complex. However generally speaking, international students on a F-1 visa are allowed to work 20 hrs/wk on campus during the school year and FT during vacation periods. 12-month optional practical training is permitted FT after completion of degree. Those are the most common employment situations. There are a handful of other situations: curricular practical training, severe economic hardship and employment with an international organization.
