Contact Congress to stop FICA tax on aupairs and host families

 The Alliance brought to our attention a very serious proposal currently pending in Congress that would, if enacted, impose a new 7.65% FICA tax burden on both au pairs and their American host families.

This is not fair since aupairs will never be able to collect on medicare and social security. Here is what you can do. It will take you 2 minutes. Please share this information with other families.

1. Go to the Alliance page and send letters to your 3 representatives

2. Email or phone one other Host Parent, and ask them to do the same.

3. Tweet this post, or share it on Facebook, to publicize the issue to your host parents friends and interested others.
