August 30, 1957 SEC. 2. Section 1402 (e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph: "(4) TREATMENT OF CERTAIN REMUNERATION PAID IN 1955 AND 1956 AS WAGES.—If—

“(A) in 1955 or 1956 an individual was paid remuneration for service described in section 3121 (b) (8) (A) which was erroneously treated by the organization employing him (under a certificate filed by such organization pursuant to section 3121 (k) or the corresponding section of prior law) as employment (within the meaning of chapter 21), and

"(B) on or before the date of the enactment of this paragraph the taxes imposed by sections 3101 and 3111 were paid in good faith and upon the assumption that the insurance system established by title II of the Social Security Act had been extended to such service) with respect to any part of the remuneration paid to such individual for such service, then the remuneration with respect to which such taxes were paid, and with respect to which no credit or refund of such taxes (other than a credit or refund which would be allowable if such service had constituted employment) has been obtained on or before the date of the enactment of this paragraph, shall be deemed (for purposes of this chapter and chapter 21) to constitute remuneration paid for employment and not net earnings from self-employment."

SEC. 3. Remuneration which is deemed under section 1402 (e) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 to constitute remuneration for employment shall also be deemed, notwithstanding sections 210 (a) (8) (A) and 211 (c) of the Social Security Act, to constitute remuneration for employment (and not net earnings from self-employment) for purposes of title II of such Act.

SEC. 4. (a) Section 3, and the amendments made by the first section of this Act, shall apply with respect to monthly insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act for months beginning after, and lump sum death payments under such title in the case of deaths occurring after, the date of the enactment of this Act. (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), in the case of any who

individual

(1) (A) has remuneration which is deemed, by reason of section 3, to constitute remuneration for employment for purposes of title II of the Social Security Act, or

(B) has income which constitutes net earnings from selfemployment under such title by reason of the filing of a certificate pursuant to section 1402 (e) (3) (A) or (B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and

(2) was entitled to monthly insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act for the month in which this Act is enacted,

71 Stat. 523. section 3 and the amendments made by the first section of this Act shall apply with respect to monthly insurance benefits under such title based on his wages and self-employment income only if he, or any other person entitled to monthly insurance benefits under such title on the basis of such wages and self-employment income, files, on or after the date of enactment of this Act, an application for recomputation by reason of this Act. Such recomputation shall be made in

the manner provided in title II of the Social Security Act as in effect at the time of the last previous computation or recomputation of such individual's primary insurance amount and as though the application therefor was filed in the month in which the application for such last previous computation or recomputation was filed. No recomputation under this subsection shall be regarded as a recomputation under section 215 (f) of the Social Security Act. Any such recomputation 42 USC 415. shall be effective for and after the twelfth month before the month in which the application therefor is filed, but in no case for any month which begins on or prior to the date of the enactment of this Act. Any such recomputation shall be effective only if it results in a higher primary insurance amount.

(c) The preceding provisions of this section shall not render erroneous any monthly insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act for the month in which this Act is enacted or any prior month.

SEC. 5. (a) Paragraph (7) of section 211 (a) of the Social Security Act is amended to read as follows:

42 USC 411.

"(7) An individual who is a duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed minister of a church or a member of a religious order shall compute his net earnings from self-employment derived from the performance of service described in subsection (c) (4) without regard to section 107 (relating to rental value of parsonages) and section 119 (relating to meals and lodging furnished for the convenience of the employer) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and, in addition, if he is a citizen of the United States performing such service as an employee of an American employer (as defined in section 210 (e)) or as a minister in a 42 USC 410. foreign country who has a congregation which is composed predominantly of citizens of the United States, without regard to section 911 (relating to earned income from sources without the United States) and section 931 (relating to income from sources within possessions of the United States) of such Code." (b) Paragraph (8) of section 1402 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 is amended to read as follows:

"(8) an individual who is a duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed minister of a church or a member of a religious order shall compute his net earnings from self-employment derived from the performance of service described in subsection (c) (4) without regard to section 107 (relating to rental value of parsonages) and section 119 (relating to meals and lodging furnished for the convenience of the employer) and, in addition, if he is a citizen of the United States performing such service as an employee of an American employer (as defined in section 3121 (h)) or as a minister in a foreign country who has a congregation which is composed predominantly of citizens of the United States, without regard to section 911 (relating to earned income from sources without the United States) and section 931 (relating to income from sources within possessions of the United States)."
