Some public employers such as certain school systems do not participate in the Social Security system. Some railroad employers do not participate in SS. Their employees have an alternate retirement system.
Some religious groups have opted out of the SS system for members of the religious group (the Amish are an example).
Ordained ministers may apply to be outside of the SS system as a matter of religious principle. Their application is not automatically granted. If it is granted it is virtually irrevocable. Such ministers are not required to have a mandatory retirement system. The consequences of this are that the minister and his spouse and dependents have no coverage for old age payments, disability payments, or survivor benefits from the SS system.

The only way I know is for you to work for the state gov. If you don't pay when you should be paying then you are looking for some bad times down the road when you get caught. It is a road you don't want to travel on friend. Considering the Social Security tax, it is not that much. I really don't see the problem here. If you are watching your dollars this close then something is wrong. Reorganize your expenses.

Participation in the Social Security program is mandatory with respect to the payment of Social Security taxes. Unless specifically exempt by law, everyone working in the United States is required to pay Social Security taxes on earnings from employment.
There are ways to avoid paying taxes on your social security income (if you're retired or disabled); it depends on your income.
Or, be rich; Social Security tax is only imposed on the first $94,200 of earned income.

Members of certain religious orders can "opt out" of social security though you must apply and have it be approved by the IRS.
When they visit you and discover you are not Amish or a Menonite.....you could have issues.
It is a misconception that Congress does not pay in to Social Security. Yes, they do.

It's not long and tedious. You just have to get a job that isn't coveered by social security. Other responders have listed several examples.
If you work at a job that is covered by social security, then you have to pay into it. It's not optional.

Check on the SSI web page. There are ways but you have to qualify.
