What is Fed OASDI/EE on a Paycheck?
The deduction labeled OASDI/EE on your paycheck stands for Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance/Employee share. It’s the required contribution you make toward your federal Social Security account. Your employer makes a matching contribution. For the 2009 calendar year, the tax applies to your earnings up to a limit of $106,800. You pay 6.2 percent (the deduction you see on your paycheck), and your employer pays 6.2 percent, for a total of 12.4 percent.
