All Federal employees newly hired after 1983 will be covered by Social Security and will pay Social Security taxes, a Social Security spokesperson said recently. Former Federal employees, other than rehired annuitants, rehired after a break in service of a year or longer will also be covered. This is the result of a new law designed to strengthen the Social Security system, the representative said. It

Changing Name On Records

People in the local area should be aware of the need for documentation to substantiate a request for a change of name on a Social Security record, a Social Security spokesperson said recently. “A person who wants his or her name changed for Social Security purposes must provide evidence to establish his or her identity.” This evidence must show both the person’s old and new name. “Uncertified photocopies of documents are not sufficient,” the representative said. “We must receive either the original document or a copy certified by the agency that issued it. Any document submitted to a Social Security office will be returned.” Additional information about the procedure for changing one's name on Social Security records can be obtained from any Social Security office. The address and telephone number of the nearest Social Security office can be found in the telephone directory.

is expected that a supplementary pension plan for Federal employees will be enacted to complement Social Security benefits. (Under present law, newly hired Federal employees are covered under Social Security and the civil service retirement system.) Federal employees not covered under Social Security by the new law will continue to be covered only by the civil service retirement system. THE NEW LAW also provides Social Security coverage effective January 1984 for certain current Federal employees including: Legislative branch employees who are not covered by the civil service retirement system on Dec. 31, 1963. All members of Congress, the President, and the Vice-President. Sitting Federal judges. Most political appointees, including noncareer members of the senior executive service. The new law also made other changes in Social Security coverage. They are: ALL EMPLOYEES of nonprofit organizations will be mandatorily covered by Social Security as of January 1984. Previously, these organizations had the option of providing coverage for their employees. In addition, nonprofit organizations whose employees are already covered are prohibited from terminating coverage on or after March 31,1963. Older nonprofit organization employees newly covered by the bill will be considered insured for Social Security retirement and survivor benefits with fewer credits for work covered by Social Security than other workers. The amount of credit required will range from five years or work performed after 1983 for a person age 55 or 56 by Jan. 1, 1984,
