Question

question 15 of 25
fica deductions consist of ______.

a. pension and medicare

b. income tax and health insurance

c. medicare and social security

d. medicaid and social security

Explanation:

FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) deductions are specifically for Medicare (a health insurance program for the elderly and some disabled) and Social Security (a retirement, disability, and survivor benefits program). Option A: Pension is not part of FICA; FICA is for Social Security (which has retirement benefits but "pension" is a broader term and not the FICA component). Option B: Income tax is separate from FICA, and health insurance (other than Medicare) isn't a FICA deduction. Option D: Medicaid is a state - federal health program for low - income individuals and is not part of FICA deductions. So the correct components of FICA deductions are Medicare and Social Security.

Answer:

C. Medicare and Social Security
