Description

The Federal Social Security Program was broadened considerably by the 1954 and 1956 Amendments to the Social Security Act. The 1954 Amendments extended old-age and survivors insurance coverage to 3 1/2 million farm operators and 2 million more hired farm workers. The 1956 Amendments extended this coverage to the rental income of many farm landlords and made other changes important to farm people. The purposes of this publication are: (1) To give farm operators, farm landlords, hired farm workers, and their families information on the insurance protection provided to them under the social security program and on the cost of this insurance; (2) To explain to farm families their rights and responsibilities under this program as provided by law.
