Download as PDF 72808 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 203 / Monday, October 23, 2023 / Notices Monthly earnings in 2024, used to determine whether a month is part of a trial work period, is the larger of: (1) the amount for 2001 ($530) multiplied by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2022 to that for 1999; or (2) the amount for 2023. If the resulting amount is not a multiple of $10, we round it to the nearest multiple of $10. Computation Under the formula, the election official and election worker coverage threshold for 2024 is equal to the 1999 amount of $1,000 multiplied by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2022 to that for 1997. If the amount we determine is not a multiple of $100, we round it to the nearest multiple of $100. Trial Work Period Earnings Threshold Amount Multiplying the 2001 monthly earnings threshold ($530) by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2022 ($63,795.13) to that for 1999 ($30,469.84) produces $1,109.67. We then round this amount to $1,110. Because $1,110 exceeds the current amount of $1,050, the monthly earnings threshold is $1,110 for 2024. Election Official and Election Worker Coverage Threshold Amount Multiplying the 1999 coverage threshold amount ($1,000) by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2022 ($63,795.13) to that for 1997 ($27,426.00) produces $2,326.08. We then round this amount to $2,300. Therefore, the election official and election worker coverage threshold amount is $2,300 for 2024. Domestic Employee Coverage Threshold (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance: Program Nos. 96.001 Social SecurityDisability Insurance; 96.002 Social SecurityRetirement Insurance; 96.004 Social SecuritySurvivors Insurance; 96.006 Supplemental Security Income) General The minimum amount a domestic worker must earn so that such earnings are covered under Social Security or Medicare is the domestic employee coverage threshold. For 2024, this threshold is $2,700. Section 3121(x) of the Internal Revenue Code provides the formula for increasing the threshold. Computation Under the formula, the domestic employee coverage threshold for 2024 is equal to the 1995 amount of $1,000 multiplied by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2022 to that for 1993. If the resulting amount is not a multiple of $100, we round it to the next lower multiple of $100. Domestic Employee Coverage Threshold Amount Multiplying the 1995 domestic employee coverage threshold ($1,000) by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2022 ($63,795.13) to that for 1993 ($23,132.67) produces $2,757.79. We then round this amount to $2,700. Therefore, the domestic employee coverage threshold amount is $2,700 for 2024. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Election Official and Election Worker Coverage Threshold General The minimum amount an election official and election worker must earn so the earnings are covered under Social Security or Medicare is the election official and election worker coverage threshold. For 2024, this threshold is $2,300. Section 218(c)(8)(B) of the Act provides the formula for increasing the threshold.
