That may be true, but that only covers your requirements/waivers from IRS. Without filing, you might not get any FICA credit at all. Even wages of $1,500 per year would get you some credits with the Social Security Administration. Apparently, the CofS hadn't been reporting it appropriately to SSA and some of the long-term Sea Org members never got credit for the wages they DID make.If you make less than a certain amount in a given year, you can choose to be exempt from filing. That amount used to be $2000 per year. I'm sure it's gone up. But $2000 means roughly $40 a week. I bet most SO members do not make that.
This is disgusting. I wonder what Aaron Sexton would have to say about this. I'll bet he knows something about it, too.I have not been a part of Scientology for quite some time, but when I was SO at the LA base, they would bring immigrants up from Mexico and down from Canada, without green cards or work Visa's. Since they were traveling here to "volunteer" for a church they did not need green cards or work visa's. The benefit to Scientology was without one of those two items they did not get paid, so needless to say they were stuck working for essentially room and board, with no legal recourse and no way to get back where they came from.

Even if these people came into the USA on tourist visas, those visas expire (sometimes just 90 days or 6 months) and after that they must leave the country. Otherwise they are considered "illegal aliens". There is no "forever" visa.
