Social Security for Farmers and Farm Workers

United States Department of Agriculture Office of Information

No 341513, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Farmers are not covered by social insurance under the Social Security Act, although millions of other Americans are protected by this program. Farm people, however, face the same hazards of unemployment, sickness, disability, old age, and death as the industrial and commercial employees now covered by unemployment insurance and old age and survivors insurance. The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the present Social Security Act, the Important changes being proposed, and how they would affect farmers.
