Are farm earnings covered un
der the Social Security Act? Ac
cording to Ev. Cummins, social
security field representative,
many Columbia county farm op-
erators and farm workers are
asking how they stand with social
security. And here is the answer
supplied by Cummins.
"Earnings from the ownership
or operation of a farm are not
covered under Federal Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance system.
No credit can be earned toward
old-age benefits or survivors
benefits from farm earnings. This
is true even though most self-
employ ?d people, for example
grocers, builders and service sta
tion operators, have been co
vered under the act since 1951.
Farm operators and certain pro
fessional groups ware not includ

ary Bill, the farm owner, mails
a report to the Director of Inter
nal Revenue and pays the 4 per
cent social security contribution.
The employer and the employee
each pay 2 per cent. As long as
Harold keeps doing agricultural
work for the same employer and
meeting the sixty-dav $50.00 test
his cash wages will be covered
under the social security act."
According to Cummins, many
of the monthly benefit payments
now being made to Columbia
County children and old folks are
based on the sbcial security co
verage earned in whole or in part
from regular farm work.
Cummins invites all those want
ing more information about farm
coverage under the social security
act or other information about
rights and benefits under the
Social Security Act, to contact
him on one of his regular weekly
visits to St. Helens.

ed under social security.”
"Although the farm owner is
not covered under the act some
farm workers have been earning
social security coverage since
1951; but only those considered
regularly employed. And the act
is quite definite, as to which farm
workers are considered "regular
ly employed.” The second full
calendar quarter of work for one
employer usually counts toward
social security credit.
For example Harold starts to
work on Bill’s farm on May 1st.
May and June work doesn’t count
at all. July, August and Septem
ber work, the first full calendar
quarter, qualifies Harold for co
verages during the next quarter.
If Harold keeps working for Bill
for sixty days in the October,
November. December quarter and
is paid $50 00 in cash wages, Har
old earns his first quarter of so
cial security coverage. In Janu
