Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

DEMOCRATS


What political party started giving social security to immigrants?

No one "gave" Social Security benefits to immigrants. Illegal immigrants aren't eligible to receive Social Security compensation; legal immigrants are eligible if they earned wages and paid FICA taxes, just like natural-born citizens.


do i have to provide the other party's social security number What if I don't know it?

Whenever you apply for a loan you usually only need your social security number. Anytime you do something where the other party must provide a social security number, the company will get it directly from them. The reasoning for this is that it is unsafe to let many people know your social security number, especially with identity theft on the rise.


How can I subpoena the Social Security Administration?

First you need to have a case in suit. Then you need to subpoena them with an authorization signed by the party who you are looking to get records about. Social Security has their own authorization form that must be completed by the party.


What is a tpqy form from the social security office in KY?

The TPQY form, which stands for Third Party Query, is a form used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide authorization to a third party, such as a government agency or organization, to access an individual's Social Security benefits information. This form allows the third party to verify the individual's eligibility for benefits or to provide proof of their benefit income. The TPQY form is typically requested by the third party as part of their verification process.


Is medicare the same as private health insurance?

What do you mean by "the same"? If you are asking, "Is the coverage about the same?" that is generally true, though as you know, the terms and the coverage of private policies vary greatly. If you are asking whether or not Medicare is a private policy rather than a government policy, the answer is, "No": Medicare is funded by Social Security taxes. Private policies, on the other hand, are paid for privately, by the subscriber or by a third party. Medicare Part A is hospital coverage, in which Social Security beneficiaries are enrolled automatically; it has no charge to the Social Security beneficiary. Part B, the voluntary coverage for physician-charges and laboratory tests, has a monthly premium charge to the beneficiary and may also entail other co-pay charges. Part C, the Medicare HMO program, now practically defunct because most Medicare HMOs went bankrupt, has no premium charge to the beneficiary but may require a co-pay. Part D is the voluntary prescription drug program, which requires a co-pay. Some private health insurers will not issue policies to Social Security beneficiaries unless they enroll in (and pay for) Part B coverage. In those instances, Medicare is the primary payer; the private insurance is the secondary payer.


What president started taxing social security?

the tax on Social Security was instituted in 1983, long before the Tax Reform Act was even considered. Claiming that Reagan imposed the tax on Social Security benefits ignores that it was a widespread bipartisan effort, passed easily and quickly with overwhelming support by a Democratic House and Republican Senate. Why did it have such bipartisan support? By the 1980s, Social Security was in big trouble. Starting in 1975, SS expenditures exceeded revenues and its reserves were close to being exhausted. It was anticipated that, without legislative action, it would not have been possible to continue paying benefits on time beginning in July 1983.


Why do middle-aged voters lean towards the Republican Party?

When people are middle-aged, they typically are making the most money and are the least dependent upon government programs (student loans, medicare, social security, etc.) in their lives. Thus, they tend to throw their support to a party who champions lower taxes and a smaller government. Just my explanation.


How does the Republican Party feel about political issues?

The Republican party, or GOP, tends to take a more conservative approach to politics (as opposed to the more liberal democratic party). They are against taxation and bureaucracy, that means they oppose social programs such as medicare, welfare, social security, and the proposed public healthcare program. They also are against thing that distrupt "traditional values", such as homosexual marriage. They want to reduce immigration. The party has had a record of pro-war ideology and support the right to bear arms. Overall, they are the second largest party in the US behind the Democratic party.


What is the largest third party payer?

Medicare


Why do you have to use your Social Security number to get an EIN number?

Because the IRS requires the name of the responsible party for the EIN, and your Social Security number allows them to verify who you are and to locate you if you default on business taxes or are delinquent in filing required paperwork.
