Domestic Employee Coverage Threshold 

Amount 

Multiplying the 1995 domestic 

employee coverage threshold ($1,000) 

by the ratio of the national average wage 

index for 2013 ($44,888.16) to that for 

1993 ($23,132.67) produces $1,940.47. 

We then round this amount to $1,900. 

Therefore, the domestic employee 

coverage threshold amount is $1,900 for 

2015. 

Election Official and Election Worker 

Coverage Threshold 

General 

The minimum amount an election 

official and election worker must earn 

so the earnings are covered under Social 

Security or Medicare is the election 

official and election worker coverage 

threshold. For 2015, this threshold is 

$1,600. Section 218(c)(8)(B) of the Act 

provides the formula for increasing the 

threshold. 

Computation 

Under the formula, the election 

official and election worker coverage 

threshold for 2015 is equal to the 1999 

amount of $1,000 multiplied by the ratio 

of the national average wage index for 

2013 to that for 1997. If the amount we 

determine is not a multiple of $100, it 

we round it to the nearest multiple of 

$100. 

Election Worker Coverage Threshold 

Amount 

Multiplying the 1999 election worker 

coverage threshold amount ($1,000) by 

the ratio of the national average wage 

index for 2013 ($44,888.16) to that for 

1997 ($27,426.00) produces $1,636.70. 

We then round this amount to $1,600. 

Therefore, the election worker coverage 

threshold amount is $1,600 for 2015.

1950, as amended, (50 U.S.C. App. 

2158), ‘‘Voluntary agreements for 

preparedness programs and expansion

its preparedness programs, ‘‘to consult
