The Amish are exempt from Social Security I think? scared to answer really.
I believe Religious groups are exempt from Social Security
as to how to find them I have no soild Idea is it through church records or death certificate? please give me your knowledge on this as I am a young padawan :)
Is it Migrant workers? you have me stumped Railroad you will see on SSI or at least sometimes you will see record provided by RRUnion. so I'm ?
Question if the Amish are not taxed for the self employment are they not breaking the law, even if they are not paying into the SS are they not by law required to disclose the money they earn even if its self employment. My brother in law parents are Amish and I know they don't have SS but I know at least I think his father pay taxes? I will have to ask him.
unless he is exempt because he is a farmer.
Also another guess Federal Gov't employees?
I think you mean Railroad Workers. Rootsweb tells more:
Railroad workers were enrolled in the same Social Security program, but from 1937 to 1963 they had numbers ranging between 700 and 728 as the first three digits. In 1964 their numbers began to reflect the same geographic location as other workers. Some railroad workers received Social Security benefits, but some did not. However, it is wise to check the SSDI in any case.
Notepad The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board was created in the 1930s, and has records dating back to 1937, but they exist only for those whose employers were covered under the Railroad Retirement Act. You can obtain information about deceased individuals for genealogical purposes.
The Railroad Retirement Board website is:
http://www.rrb.gov/BUT There are other folks who are also exempt and I do not know where you would find their records. According to mysocialsecurity.org:
"About 4 percent of workers do not pay into Social Security. Most of these are state and local government employees like state workers and teachers in areas that have "opted out" of Social Security before the loophole was closed in 1983."
