Social Security tax base and Medicare enrollment rules
The wage base for Social Security taxes rises from 17 700 to 22 900 in 1979 and the tax rate increases to 6 13 percent for employees and employers. General Medicare enrollment runs Jan 1 through March 31 with coverage starting July 1 and a 10 percent premium increase for each missed 12 month period. Medicare coverage for dialysis starts the third month after maintenance treatment begins. SSI eligibility may require accepting vocational rehabilitation if offered. Housing assistance is often not counted in SSI income. Contact Social Security or visit the Cedar Rapids office for details. The Yalta conference ended on this date in 1945 with Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin.
US Resurrects the Two Dollar Bill in 1976
The Federal Bureau of Printing and Engraving relaunched the $2 bill to replace half the $1 notes and save up to $7 million annually. Circulation began April 13, 1976, with lines at banks and plans for hundreds of millions printed yearly. But stores resist, vaults hold most notes, and only about four percent of currency is $2 bills.
