S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare for the purpose of extending the provisions of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance system to all services performed by employees as members of any coverage group as defined in section 218(b)(5) of the Social Security Act unless such services are already covered by an agreement under this act.
