Changes in Your Social Security

For taxable years after
1855, persons who work for
themselves-alone or in part
nership-as lawyers, dentists,
chiropractors, veterinarians,
naturopaths, osteopaths, and
optometriSts, started build
ing old-age and survivors in
surance protection for them
selves and their families on
the same basis as self-em-
ployed persons previously
covered by the law. 1t is
estimated that about 100000
professional people are effect
ed by this change in the social
security law.
Lawyers make up the larg-
est number of these newly
covered self-employed profess
SIGNALS. AS long ago as 1913,
it was estimated that 100000
out of the probably 100000
lawyers in the United States
were self-employed. Most of
them are already familiar
with the insurance provisions
of social security. They have
had occasion to observe and
study it in connection with
the affairs of their clients.
Moreover. because of the close
relationship between legal
practice and fields such as
business management, real
estate. finance, and politics,
many lawyers had moved into
other lines of work covered
by social security before 1856.
A great many of them came
under social security as en-
plovees of other lawyers;
others acquired military wage
credits under social security
during active service with the
Armed Forces. In fact, it is
estimated that at least 30
percent of all presently self
employed lawyers, at one time
or another. have accumulated
some earnings credits under
the old-age and survivors in
surance program. To these
LAWYERS, in particular, the ex-
tension of coverage is of
marked importance. The So
cial security credits they have
built up would have steadily
declined in benefit value in
the years ahead; in the case
of many young lawyers, they
would eventually have disap-
peared altogether.
Also brought under social
security as of January 1. 1856,
are an estimated $4,000 den
fists actively engaged in pri-
