This proposal would require international students on F-1 visas who participate in optional practical training (work experience related to their studies) to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, just like regular employees do. Currently, these students are often exempt from these payroll taxes even though they're working in the United States. The change would affect both the students and their employers, who would need to withhold and contribute these taxes.
