Po/NT the
MUZZLt M A
By Frank J. Laheney
QUESTION: What is a com­
plete, correct, and timely report of
wages paid to farm workers?
ANSWER: The report must
show the employer’s business
name (it may be his own name
only), address, and employer iden­
tification number. Also each em­
ployee’s name, account number (as
copied from his social security
account number card), and amount
of wages paid to him during the
preceding year must be shown.
The employees reported must ei­
ther have been paid at least $150
cash or have worked on at least
20 days and been paid on a time
basis by you. The report is made
only once a year—no later than
January 31 of the year after the
one in which the covered wages
were paid.
QUESTION: I feel an error has
been made. I am too disabled to
work; however my application for
disability insurance benefits has
been turned down. What do I do
now
ANSWER: The social security
law provides procedures under
which a worker who is dissatisfied
with the decision in his case has
recourse to further consideration.

QUESTION: During the school
year, I clean house for one of my
instructors one day a week. For
helping her, I receive $5 a day. She
told me this was not covered by
social security. Does this mean
that workers in a private home
can’t get social security coverage?
If so, can a person pay social se­
curity, on his own, and be co­
vered?
ANSWER: If you are paid over
$50 in cash in a calendar quarter
by one employer, and if that em­
ployer is not your spouse, parent,
or child, you are covered by so­
cial security. Social security taxes
are shared equally by the worker
and the employer. If you are earn­
ing over $50 in cash in a calendar
quarter, ask your employer to con­
tact the Social Security office for
Form OASI-21. If she has any
questions concerning payment of
these taxes, the Social Security
office or Internal Revenue office
will be glad to assist her.
QUESTION: Since I am plan­
ning for my retirement later this
year, could you offer any informa­
tion now that would help me when
I apply for my social security re­
tirement benefits?
ANSWER: First, check with
your social security office to see
what records might be needed be­

fits. Second, we suggest you sub­
