SSR 64-15

Public Law 87-574 (76 Stat. 308), enacted August 6, 1962, amends Chapter
17 of Title 38 of the U.S. Code by adding Section 618 which provides as
follows:

The Veterans' Administration has determined pursuant to P.L. 87-574 that
effective December 9, 1962, patients and members in Veterans'
Administration hospitals and domiciliaries whose services are utilized by
the Administration do not have the status of employees of the United
States for any purpose with respect to such services. Under the provisions
of section 205(p)(1) of the Social Security Act, such determination is
binding on the Social Security Administration. For periods from January 1,
1951, to December 9, 1962, services of these individuals constituted
employment which was covered under the Social Security Act.
