Thank you for your reminder: "FYI- I came to the USA on 2014 on an F1 Visa."
My bet. I reviewed your original post and noticed I made a mistake in my previous answer.
You are correct that you are subject to FICA from January 1st to December 2019. Since you started your F-visa in 2014, you are exempt from FICA for five years ( 2014-2018). You will need to pay FICA for the entire year 2019. Great to hear your employer is willing to work with you on correcting the FICA withholding.
Sorry for the confusion.
