Social Security Tax Debuts Today Across Nation
Washington reports the social security tax becomes effective with a 1 percent levy on the first 3000 dollars of wages for over 23 million workers. Employers must match contributions, payments due end of February, and 2.5 million employers already registered. The plan outlines a revolving fund to 1980 with gradual rate rises to 3 percent by 1949, with debates on exemptions and potential rate changes as Congress weighs constitutional questions. Pension benefits begin in 1942, with monthly amounts from 19 to 85 dollars depending on taxed wages, and those aged 65 after 1942 eligible for pro rata benefits. The article also notes large pumpkins in Glenville and cotton yields in Florida.
