Stamp Book System Proposed to Record Social Security Payments
The plan suggests stamps in worker books as evidence of employer contributions under social security. Farmers could place stamps when paying workers with half the stamp cost borne by the employee. Rural and small establishments would use stamp books, while large farms might keep standard payroll records. The approach aims to extend coverage to household servants and other groups, with emphasis on farm operators and self employed.
