Social Security Law Changes Affecting Ministers Explained by Officials Ministers who have not de cided to come under social security still have time to do so, according to officials at the local social security of fice. The 1957 amendments to the social security law pro vided for an extension of time during which ministers could file their election to come under social security. Filing of the proper form with the director of internal revenue is mandatory if the minister desires coverage. Before the law was changed, those ministers who had not filed the certificate within two years of ordina tion or prior to April 15, 1957, were forever barred. This deadline is now extend ed to April 15, 1959. Minis ters who want the coverage, however, should not delay . filing the waiver form. In addition to extending the time during which, minis ters may elect coverage, an other change was made. The rental value of a home fur nished a minister and the value of meals and lodging are now included for social security purposes. These items, however, are not con sidered in figuring the in come tax of the minister. The local office of the di rector of internal revenue or the social security office is located at 33 North Riverside ave. . Questions that have been asked by ministers and an swers supplied by the social security officials' are listed here. A minister who files a waiver certificate during the period extended by the social security law can have coverage for exactly what , CHURCH NEWS National Religious Publicity Council family.

Ministers who file during the extended period (through April 15, 1959) will be man datorily covered for 1956 and subsequent years for which they have self-employment net earnings of $400 or more, any part of which was from their duties as a minister. I am a minister who filed a waiver certificate before August 31, 1957, but too late lo secure coverage for 1956. Do I understand now that by filing a supple mental waiver during the extended period provided by the recent change in the law I might still get cov erage for 1956? You are right. You may secure coverage for 1956 now by filing a supplemental waiver. The law does not permit ministers to elect cov erage retroactively for 1955.

The amended law. does not change the two year dead line for ministers who file the certificate after April 15, 1959. In January 1959, I plan to retire at 65.
