Thursday, September 23, 1937 What's What About SOCIAL SECURITY (56) Question: Will you please tell me how mflfch there is due nie by the Oldd-Age Pension law. am 69 1-2 years old. They don't want to give me but $5.00 per month. I have not accepted any thing. Answer: Doubtless you have applied for assistance under the Federal-State Old-Age Assist ance program. Title lof the So cial Security Act sets up pro visions wherein grants are made to the States for old-age assist ance, based on State participa tion. The State of North Carolina has availed itself of this provision of the Social Security Act and has passed a law providing for as- to the needy aged. The you may receive under this is determined solely by the State itself. The law provides that old-age assistance shall be administered by the State land county welfare departments. For detailed information relative to your rights under the State law you should consult your county welfare department. (57) Q. I work part-time in a store, waiting on customers and delivering orders, and doing other things. My employer thinks I may not come under the Social Security Act because my employ ment is "casual labor." Is that correct? A. No. Any person engaged in any employment which is not spe cifically excepted under Title VIII of the Social Security Act must have a social security ac -4rount number and is liable to the taxes and benefits of the law. "Casual labor not in the course of the employer's trade or business" is excepted under Title VM. But casual labor does not mean part time work; or work irregularly performed by the individual; or work which may be done by a temporary employee who may have been hired more or less hap hazardly. The test is whether the work performed is in the course of the employer's trade or busi ness. Waiting on customers, de livering orders and such things seems clearly to be labor perform ed "in the course of the employ er's trade or business." You should haye an account number, ryour employer should record your number on his books, and he is responsible for the payment to the Collector of Internal Revenue for his district of the taxes pre- A scribed in Title VTII of the Social Security Act. (58) Q. My father died on August 15, 1937, having been em ployed in a covered industry from January 1, 1937, to that date. He did not have an account number but his employer had deducted the Social Security tax. How can I get a number for him in order to file a claim? A. Your father's employer fhould apply to the nearest So ial. Security Board Field Office for a Social Security account number for your father. He should use Form SS-5, which he can ob tain from his post office or So cial Security Board office; and should file this Form SS-5 in ac cordance with instructions con tained in Treasury Decision 4704, copy of which can be obtained from the Social Secuity Board Held Office or from the Collector ■ of Internal Revenue.

"It" Girl Opens "It" Cafe H HOLLYWOOD, CaL . . . Clara Bow, famous flapper of the '2oa, who had It, for years fed the pub lic entertainment, but from now on will feed the people food. She and her husband, Rex Bell, 'have just opened a cafe. to file a special tax return in each case in which an employee dies. This return should be filed with in 10 days of the death of the employee. Form SS-3 should be used. This form can be obtained from the Collector of Internal Revenue or from the nearest So cial Security Board Field Office. The employer also is requested by the Social Security Board to file with its nearest field office a special report on Form SS-1001. This simple form should be filled out in accordance with instruc tions printed on it. It will serve as' the basis for determining the amount of the lump-sum pay ment due the estate of your fath er under the Old-age benefits provisions of the Social Security Act. The employer can Inform you of the social security account as signed for your father; or you can get the information from the So cial Security Board Field Office. Every assistance will be given you by the field office in filing a claim for what is due to your father's estate under the Social Security Act. (59) Q. When are the Social Security taxes to be increased and how much will the new rate be? A. An income tax on employ ees, based on wages received in covered employments, and an ex cise tax on employers, based on wages paid employees in covered employments, are imposed under Title VII of the Social Security Act. Both the income and excise taxes apply to wages received by the employee after December 31, 1936, up to $3,000 a year from one employer. The rate of the in come and excise taxes is the same. During the calendar year 1937 the rate was one percent. The rate will continue to be one per cent during 1938 and 1939. Thereafter the rate will be in creased one-half of one percent -ach three years until a maxi mum of three percent is effective on and after January 1, 1949.
