M*_■ t - t « *%«» - a . nouaenoia w onwn, ; Under Social Security
Do yon employ a cook, a laundress, or a maid for general housework? If So, you will soon be an employer under social security.
The amended Social Security Act brings household workers under the old-age and survivors insurance system. Beginning in January, they will have the retirement and death benefit protection that millions of Americans in other occupations already have.
Perhaps your husband is now in a job that comes und[er social security. You may have heard him say that so much was withheld from his pay check or envelope for his social security tax, or maybe he has his own business and is sending taxes and reports to toe internal revenuue collector on his employees. As a housewife, however, you have not come in direct contact with social security.
Well, beginning in January, many housewives—-maybe you, and many workers in private/homes— maybe your cook, will be directly concerned with social security. Her work for you may bring her under the old-age and survivors insurance system. If so, you, as her employer, will'begin keeping a record of her work days and wages, and you will deduct her share of the social security tax from her pay. To this you will add your share of the taxi
Does all this sound complicated? well, it really isn’t. The Treasury Department and the Social Se-^ curity Administration, working jointly, have just issued a brief attractive booklet telling the few simple steps for you and your household worker tb takir. It ihcludee a postal card for getting instructions about the easy-to-fillout report form. The title of this leaflet is “Do You Have a Maid?” Perhaps you have one. It not, drop a postcard to Social Security Administration, 81b King Street, Alexandria, Virginia, and you' will get one right away. Just ask for a copy of “Do You Have a-Maid?”
