Domestic workers face social security payments deadline Monday

The new social security for household servants requires first quarterly payments due next Monday. Exemptions apply for those earning under 50 dollars in three months or working under 24 days in non farm households, or under 60 full days in farm households after 1950. The 3 percent tax is paid by the employer, though many cover the full amount themselves. The Federal Security Administration estimates about 1,060,000 domestic workers fall under the coverage, a figure to be refined in July. The 1950 census shows 1,807,000 domestic workers in the US, mostly women, with typical wages around eight dollars weekly nationwide and lower rates in New York City and other areas. A few light notes follow on an improved lunch box, an old type B remains usable if dry, a diamond found in Africa, and a horse named after a comedian as a Derby favorite.
