Ru mors of elaborate account keeping, report filling, and other time-con suming obligations under social se curity, are set at rest. Today the Bu reau of Internal Revenue and the Social Security Administration un wrapped their plan for reporting reg ular household workers who come under social security on January first. It was a small package. W. P. Bowers, collector of internal revenue, and Miss Martha Pressly, manager of social security office in Greenwood, displayed a envelope. In form and size, it resembled those in use by private insurance companies, magazine circulation departments, and other commercial firms. It is a one-piece, pre-addressed return en velope. There is space on the inner flap for th essential but brief items on the employee’s wage, and a pock et for transmitting the social security tax. That’s all. Miss Pressly, estimates that 2000 housewives in Laurens county will need this envelope form. They will be used for making the first reports on regular household employees in April. Under the new social security law, household, workers who are paid as much as $50 by one employer in the three-month period, January through March (a calendar quarter), and who have worked for that one employer on 24 days or more in that quarter, or the preceding quarter, will have their wages count toward old-age and survivors insurance. The tax to be remitted in the envelope form will be 3 per cent of the worker’s cash wages for the three month period. The housewife may deduct one-half of this (H4%) from her employee’s wages. One and one-half percent is her share of the tax. To illustrate how the envelope re port system will work, Miss Pressly took the case of a housewife who em ploys one maid on two days a week during the first three months of the coming year. At any time during Ap ril, the housewife, she explained, should fill out the envelope form which she will receive in March. The inner flap of the envelope will be al- . eady imprinted with the employer’s name and address. On one line she will enter the worker's name and social security number, together with the total amount of case wages paid during the three months. If the wages were $10 per week, and since there are 13 weeks in the thre-month per iod, the total would be $130. The 3 per cent social security tax would amount to $3.90. One-half of this ($1.95) is the worker’s share. The em ployer will match this amount. The total tax of $3.90 is entered on the last line of the form. A check or money order in th$t amount is put in the pocket of the envelope. With the envelope. With the envelope sealed, stamped, and dropped in the mailbox, the housewife’s social se curity report work is completed until July. No other records will be re quired. “We are confident that as the household employer and her worker come to realize the mutual advantage of a more secure future for the em ployee, they will cooperate to make this simple procedure work,” de clared Miss Pressjy. She feels that it will promote a more stable and last- inging employer-employee relation ship, and believes that this provision of the new social security for the pro tection of the housemaid, the cook, the hired man, and the laundress is an important step in encouraging domestic employment. Before January 1, every regularly employed household worker should have a social security account-num ber card. The social security office is the place to get it. Right away, every housewife should read the booklet, "Do You Have a Maid?” The back page of this informative book let is a postage-free post card ad- DOWN CO PB!
