Farm operators and laborers gain coverage with new tax rules and reporting, optional coverage extends to many state and local workers and ministers, and eligibility for benefits rises as more people are included in the system.
A proposed measure would tax domestic workers three monthly quarters at 2 percent from wages plus 2 percent from the employer, with the total remitted to the government.
