  • How do I pay an honorarium or one-time payment to someone outside of UC Davis?

Nonresident aliens for U.S. tax purposes are not subject to Medicare and Social Security/DC Safe Harbor Plan (also know as FICA). It is likely that your residency status changed from a nonresident to a resident for US tax purposes by passing the substantial presence test. All residents for tax purposes are subject to FICA or DCP, depending on their position.
