Technical Amendments To Change a Cross-Reference and To Remove Reference to an Obsolete Form

AGENCY: Social Security Administration.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY: This document contains two technical corrections to our regulations. The first correction changes a cross-reference in our regulations regarding how we credit quarters of coverage for calendar years before 1978. The second correction removes reference to a form that has been obsolete since November 2002.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective on March 24, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are making two corrections to our current regulations. The first correction is being made to 20 CFR 404.141, How we credit quarters of coverage for calendar years before 1978. The cross-reference in paragraph (d)(1) of this section incorrectly cross- refers to Sec. 404.1027(a). The correct cross reference should be to Sec. Sec. 404.1047 and 404.1096, which contain the annual wage limitations based on wages and self-employment income.

The second correction we are making is to remove from Sec. 422.505(b) the reference to, and description of, form SSA-1388, Report of Student Beneficiary at End of School Year. This form became obsolete on November 1, 2002.
