Abstract
Twenty-four years ago the Social Security Act was adopted. Whereas in its inception it covered about half the labor force, now it applies to nearly 90% of American workers. One would expect that the basic rules of law applicable to such a vast program would, by now a generation later, be rather well settled. Yet, in one very important area of Social Security law, this is not true. This article discusses that unsettled part of the law. It deals with the general rules applicable in determining the employer-employee relationship under the Federal Social Security laws, with greatest emphasis on the old age, survivors and disability insurance program. Surprisingly enough, this problematic area of a law which touches millions of people has received little attention in legal literature.
