Question Ill. Type of Control
Check the one category that is most descriptive of the type of
organization operating the facility. Use the following as a guide:
Proprietary - For profit corporation.
Non-profit church - A church affiliated facility governed
by a board of directors and financed by contributions and
earnings.

Please indicate in each block how services are provided, using the
following figures:
1. Employees
2. Under Arrangement
3. Independent Contractor
These terms are defined below. Note that more than one figure may
be used for each block. Blocks #1, #2 and either #3 or #4 must be
completed for the facility to be eligible for participation since these are
mandatory services.
Employee - An individual who is paid a salary per unit time of work
(i.e., hourly, yearly), is covered under Social Security and Workmen's
Compensation and accrues benefits (i.e., sick leave, vacation).
Under Arrangement - The facility has an agreement with an organization
to use their personnel. The facility pays the organization and not the
individuals providing the services.
Independent Contractor - An individual who is paid a sum of money
based upon services rendered or units of time. However, the
independent contractor is not covered under Social Security through
the facility and does not accrue benefits. The individual generally has
a contract with the facility.

Non-profit other than church - A facility which is
generally governed by a community based board of
directors and financed by contributions and earnings.
Government - A facility primarily administered by the
State, county, city or other local unit of government.
