Social Security Tax incorrect for Emergency Paid Leave

Question

Ran a test with a client this morning and found that the Social Security tax was incorrect for the Paid Leave. They were paying an employee for 72 Regular hours and 8 EPSLS hours. They have a Health Insurance CAF plan. It subtracted the Health insurance form the Regular pay, then calculated the SS tax. THEN is subtracted the Health Insurance from the EPSLS pay and calculated the tax. His EPSLS tax ended up being .52 cents. So it is subtracting Health Ins twice. 
 Has anyone else run into this???

Thanks 
 Sue

ETA is mid-late next week if all testing passes. Please use KB 104288 for the current workaround.

Wayne, please use KB 104288 for the current workaround until we have a permanent solution.

Yes, we found this yesterday afternoon and it has been reported to engineering. The only workaround we found was to enter the EPSLS hours/wages in a separate check entry than the Regular hours/wages. It may be necessary in some situations to split the deductions so the earnings are high enough to deduct them and the taxes.

A SPA tax calculation engine update was deployed on April 30, 2020, to address the issue when combining FFCRA earnings with other earnings on same check, please see KB ID 104288 for more details.
