Huston identifies four groups excluded from Social Security: domestic workers, agricultural laborers, certain government employees, and self-employed individuals with low earnings. These groups often lack access to the benefits and protections that Social Security provides, leaving them vulnerable in terms of retirement and financial security. The exclusion is rooted in historical policies and reflects broader socioeconomic disparities.

Farmers in the United States began paying Social Security taxes in 1955, following the expansion of the Social Security Act. Prior to this, many agricultural workers were excluded from the program. The inclusion of farmers was part of a broader effort to ensure that a wider range of workers could benefit from Social Security protections. Since then, farmers have contributed to and benefited from the Social Security system just like other workers.

Blacks were eligible to receive Social Security cards when the program was established in 1935. However, the implementation of the Social Security Act often excluded many African Americans, particularly in the South, due to discriminatory practices in employment and the exclusion of certain job categories. It wasn't until the 1950s and 1960s that more equitable access to Social Security benefits began to improve. Overall, while the program started in 1935, the effective inclusion of black individuals varied significantly based on regional and systemic factors.
