More Now Covered By Social Security I ; Recent Amendments Increase Coverage Social security act amendments , recently enacted by congress will bring coverage to some 900,000 per- , sons, not previously included. Christian H.W. Luecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office, said today. Among those most re- ’ cently covered are self-employed ’ lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, ,naturopaths, osteopaths, and optometrists. Coverage for these groups starts with selfemployment tax returns for tax--1 abli years that end after 1955. Doc--1 tors of medidhe are now the only self-employed people who as a group are not covered by social • security, Mr. Luecke said. One of the most significant ' changes made in the new law is the provision for payment to workE ers who are totally disabled for - substantial gainful work beginning • with age 50. Although applications ” may be accepted as early as Octo- ■ ber, 1956. payments cannot begin until July.. 1957. - ' Disabled workers who are past i 50 years of age ah<T who have al- > ready applied to have their w-age £ record frozen because of this dis- . ability need not contact the social 5 security office now l , Luecke said. The local social'Security office will • advise them individually by letter when to call and what additional proofs may be needed. Due to the amendments, child- ! ren’s benefits may now be continued beyond 18 years of age if the I child is disabled and was receiving • child’s benefits before age 18, or I if the child has been supported by ah Insured parent at the time of . retirement or death. These pay- , ments start with January, 1957. Ap- ’ plications for these payments cannot be accepted before October 1, . 1956, Luecke said. Other significant changes in the law are benefit payments to woi men at age 62 instead of 65 as at present. The earliest that these ' payments can be made is November, 1956, with checks that will be mailed in December. Women workers and wives of retired workers who file before age 65 will receive reduced benefits based on a sliding ' scale determined by the exact age of the applicant at the time of tiling. i / The new- law also affects many farmers and farm warkers, Luecke said. One of these changes, effective with taxable years ending After . 1955, brings under the law as eelfemployed farmers, landowners i wbose income from the farm is . rental income but who ‘‘materially participate” in the operation of the farm. It also changes the optional method of reporting net earnings from the farm by allowing him to report % of his gross earnings up toG|IBOO instead of 14 as at present. This change applies tq taxable 1 years ending on or after December 31. 1956 for farmers or farm part- . nerships reporting bn a cash basis , or an accrual basis. Beginning with 1957 the cash, wages paid to a farm hand will , count toward social security if the worker meets either of two requirements: (1) If he is paid 3150 or more in cash by any one employer. and (2) Regardless of the amount he is paid, if he performs agricultural labor for a-farm employer on 20 or more days in a year for cash pay figured on a time basis rather than on a piece work basis.
