.... Farm Editor, The Statesmu
The federal social secarity law
amendment passed by ' Congress
in 1954 are still a puzzle to a num
ber of farmers, according to more
than a score of letters which toe
Statesman Farm , editor has re
ceived this past sweek.,
One farmer, in a final clause to
his letter, admits the reason for
this puzzlement: ''Somehow I did
not think it would affect me and
so didn't pay any attention to the
first information on it Now it
seems I'm in it, too," he wrote,
when asking for further informa
tion. . '
Host of the inquiries settle
around the same thoughts: Whom
do the amendments affect? When
do the new rules begin? How
much do you. have to make be
fore you have to report?
i Manning Becker, farm manage
ment specialist -at Oregon State
College, has been"given over" to
assist farmers in understanding
these new amendments. In reply
to. a request for a brief explana
tion, Becker gives the following,
which I hope will answer most
of the "first" inquiries:
Most farmers and farm work
ers in Oregon will be affected by
the amendments. TAe law brings
federal old-age and survivors'
insurance to most farm families.
Over $400 Profits ;
Beginning this month . (Jan
uary), persons who farm for
themselves will be included in
social security if they make as
much as $400 a year profit from
their fanning operations. Farm
I workers are included If they are
paid cash wages of $100 a year
or more by any one farmer. Earn
ings of that amount on several
different farms do not count The
$100 must be from one farmer.
Farm earnings may now count
tnward social security benefits
for both farmers and their fam
ilies. These benefits - are - in
monthly payments in old age,
and monthly payments to surviv
ors in ease of the breadwinner's
death. A lump sum payment will
also be made at the time of an
insured person's death, at any
age. This payment may range
from $90 to $225.
After 1 Years
Farmers must have worked
under social security for at least
14 years before entitled to any
rfit benefits. These benefits
are payable to 'a retired individ
ual at age of 65 or to his 'survivors.
The benefits aren't paid auto
matically, however. It is neces
sary to claim them. Information
on how to do this is available
from local social security offices.
The first thing farm operators
and workers should do now is to
get social security cards if they
don't already have them.
It's Compulsory ' '
Social security, like income tax, -is
compulsory. - The farm oper
ator has the dual responsibility
of reporting his own earnings at
the end of each year at the time
h files his income tax return.
and the wages he paid his farm
employes. j- j; -- ...
Farmers are to pay 3 per cent
social security on their net earn
ings from the farm. However,
no tax is paid on earnings of over
$4200 a year. To simplify re
TMtrtinff. a farmer is allowed to
report one-half of his gross in
come if this isn't over $1800. If
his gross income is over $1800
during a year, ne must report nis
actual net income. It the net
income is less than $900 he may
have the option of reporting $900.
The farm operator is required .
to withhold 2 per cent of each
nf his emoloves' oav UD to $4200.
He must match this amount, and
make a report to the director of
internal revenue showing the
worker's name, social security
number, and -amount of wages
paid him.
If there are any special ques
tions it is advisable to check with
your local social security offices.
In each county, the county exten
tion offices have information as
to where the social security
offices are.
