Summary:
"Universal social security coverage" refers to a variety of issues resulting from the existence of employment not covered by social security. Of current interest are those federal, state and local, and private, nonprofit jobs which are not protected by, and not taxed for, the provisions of the social security program. Eliminating opportunities for noncovered employment could correct certain disparities in the treatment of workers, improve the financial operation of the program, and result in a short-term infusion of revenue to the Social Security Trust Fund.
