SOCIAL SECURITY “Every self-employed person shouiu kirn .V uiat coverage unaer Ule new social security program is compul sory, that taxes on sell-employment income earned in 1961 will be due on or before March 15, 1952, that the amount of social security tax will range from $9 to $81, and that each self-employed person reporting must have a social security number," Mar shall Barney, manager of the Rocky Mount social security office, said re cently. Barney continued, “Many self employed people seem to think cover age under the program is voluntary. This is not true. If a person is a sole owner or a partner in a trade or business and has self-employment net earnings of $400 or more during 1951, the law requires that he must report his earnings and pay the social security tax on or before March 15 of this year.” Only self-employment earnings up to $3600 a year count towards old-age and survivors insur ance. The Federal income tax will have a special .section for making this report. “Eyually important,” Barney added “is the protection now. afforded the self-employed and members of their families. Retirement benefits for them, their wives, and their children under age 18 are provided, as are survivors’ benefits to aged widows, widows of any age with young chil dren of the deceased in their care, children under age 18, and, in some cases, to dependent parents and de pendent widowers.
