Farm Workers Gain Social Security Coverage Changes
A 1957 amendment broadens Social Security coverage for farm workers. It allows benefits if the worker earns $150 or more in cash in a year, or if they work 20 or more days for a single employer with cash pay on an hourly or daily basis. The 1954 rule removed regularity tests, but the new provision ties coverage to cash earnings or days worked.
