(a) Every employee of the State whose services are covered by an agreement entered into under § 5703 of this title shall be required to pay for the period of such coverage into the Contribution Fund established by § 5707 of this title contributions with respect to wages equal to the amount of the employee tax which would be imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act if such services constituted employment within the meaning of such Act.
