The Lincoln times., 1955-03-10

Beginning January /. a great
many people became employers
under the Social Security Act
Joseph P. Walsh. District Manag-
er of the Gastonia Social Sc
curity office said today. This is
due to the recent changes in the
social security law as it applies
to domestic employment.
Prior to 1855 a domestic en-
ployee in private home was cov-
cred by the Social Security Act
if the individual performed work
in the home on at least "a differ
ent days in a calendar quarter
and was paid at least $50 in cash
wages for such work. The new
law simply eliminates the "a day
requirement and now covers all
domestic employees who are paid
at least $50 in cash wages in a
calendar quarter by a single en-
ployer.
Mr.. Walsh gave an example
of domestic employee who
works for an employer one day
per week and is paid S4.O0 per
day. Under the law in effect be-
fore 1855 this employee was
not covered, even though she
was earning more than $50 per
5 quarter, because she did not
work at least "a different days.
The same employee would now
be covered under the social Sc
Scurity law because her cash
wages would be at least $50 per
quarter. That is the only test
of cOverage, he said.
REPORT OF WAGES
Employers under this part of
the law are required to make a
quarterly report of wages paid
each employee. These reports
contain the name, social security
rumber, and of course, the a
mount of wages paid. They should
be filed with the Director of In
ternal Revenue for the state in
which the employer lives. Reports
covering the January February
March quarter are due on or be-
fore April 80.
Employers should be sure
that each report contains the
information outlined above.
The Social Security Admins
tratiOn maintains wage records
on individuals who have been
reported. 1t is impossible to
credit the amounts reported to
the proper account unless both
the name and the social Sc
curity number of the employee
are reported. These wage re-
cords are the basis for deter
mining entitlement to benefits
and the amount of a benefit
which may be payable.
2 PERCENT TAX
The present tax on employ
ment under the Social Security
Act is 2 pct. each from employ
ers and employees on the first
$4,000 in wages paid during the
calendar year.
Many householders in Lincoln
County are going to need and
want more information concern
ing their liability as employers
under the Social Security Act.
The GaStonia office is already
available for rendering any as
sistence which may be necessary.

in Eastern Montana at Glendive to

wheat farmer at present is storage IA
cilities and railroad cars.
Observations made with &c yearling
Herefords at the University of Mis-
souri, found that cattle fed through the
winter to gam weight produced more
desirable carcasses after the pasture
and fattening period than cattle which
lost weight while wintering on low
grade roughages. The fat distribution
on carcasses from the poorly -wintered
lot, receiving low grade stacked hay
and minerals. was deposited On the
outside of the carcass and between the
muscles, while carcasses fed rations
that produced a winter gain had a much
greater portion of the fat deposited
casses from poorly-fed steers graded
lower and showed greater variability.
USDA scientists report dairymen soon
