jan 1, 1965 - Congress exempts the Amish from participating in Social Security.
Description:
The Amish believe they do not need Social Security because it is the duty of church members to care for each other's material needs. Today, Amish families fill out IRS Form 4029 after a child is born to exempt them from Social Security; they do not pay into it or receive payments from it.
