Social Security Tax Calculation

A client called to our office with a quirky issue regarding the Social Security calculation on a paycheck.  The employee had reached the $137,700.00 wage limit on a previous paycheck, and that check had a prorated amount for SS.  The next subsequent paycheck had 0.00 withholding and company expense.  When the client was processing payroll today, the check is now calculating the full SS tax withholding and company expense as it was before the wage limit was reached.  Running a payroll update and trying a dummy check still shows the full amount being calculated.
