Summary
The Clergy Act lets ordained ministers, members of religious orders, and Christian Science practitioners cancel their exemption from Social Security coverage. They must file an application by the tax‑return deadline for the second year after 2027, and may have to pay back taxes if they file late. The bill also orders the IRS to report to Congress how it will inform eligible clergy about this new option.
