I remember reading somewhere that Federal government employees are
not obliged to contribute to the social security system. Anybody
wants to confirm that?

A few years ago, before I became a resident of this country, I was
on a work visa. My earnings were not subject to social security
tax. (I took a ~7% paycut and paid $82 (approx.) for the privilege
of remaining here!).
