Rule, iSAFE has submitted proposed
self-regulatory guidelines to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Federal, State, and local government
programs seek to help elderly or
disabled individuals maintain their
independence by funding home health
care and other personal services. See,
for example, Deficit Reduction Act of
2005, Public Law 109–171, se. 6071, 120
Stat. 4, 102–110 (2006) (authorizing the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
to, among other things, award grants to
states to ‘‘[i]ncrease the use of home and
community-based, rather than
institutional, long-term care services.’’)
The government agencies that
administer the programs seek to assist
the service recipients with employment
tax compliance by helping the service
recipients to designate agents to report,
file, and pay employment taxes on their
behalf. The IRS and the Treasury
Department are proposing changes to
the regulations under section 3504, the
section under which a third party can be
authorized to act as an agent for an
employer, to permit designated agents to
provide comprehensive assistance to
these service recipients who are
employers.
