New Social Security
Regulations
Some farm people ■will come under social security on January 1, 1951 but not farm operators. Hired farm workers will come under if they earn $50 or more cash wages in a calendar quarter and are regularly employed by one farm operator for live or more months. A calendar quarter is a three-month period beginning January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1.
A regularly employed farm worker is a person employed by one farm operator on a full-time basis for a period of several months. For example, Ed Smith, a farm worker, is employed by Howard Jones, a farm operator. Smith will work continuously for Jones during the calendar quarter beginning this October. During that time he will establish what is known as a “service relationship” with Mr, ^Jonee. It will show^that, he wants to work regularly for one farm operator and that Jones wants him a' a regular employee.
Now let’s look forward to January first—the date when regular farm work begins to count toward social security insurance. Ed will be qualified. However, he must work for Jones on a full-time basis for at least 60 days in the calendar—quarter - beginning -on January first, and he must earn not less then $50 in cash wages for bis work on those 60 or more days.» As long as he continues to do this much work for Jones in each calendar quarter, and earns $50 or more in cash wages for his work in the quarter his earnings will be credited toward old-age and survivors insurance. Tint suppose in the calendar quarter beginning April 1, Ed doesn’t work as much as 60 day* for Jones, but is paid $50 or more cash wages for that period. He will be credited for that quarter but not for the one beginning July 1,< regardless of days of work and amount of cash wages. That less- ' than-60-days of work broke his continuous employment relationship with Mr. Jones. Ed must start, all over again.
What this all means is that a farm worker, to have his cash wages count toward old-age and survivors insurance, must:—first, work continuously through a calendar quarter to establish a service relationship, then be continuously employed by the same farm operator, and earn not less than $50 cash wages for 60 or more days of iwork in each consecutive quarter. •
