Who else can legally opt out of social security?

No one, any more. Certain state and local governmental entities were permitted to do so over a particular period of time on the condition that they maintain a particular type of plan with particular contribution rates. If I still worked where I worked when I had to deal with this, I would have more info, but I don't so I don't. In any event, they can't opt out anymore.
I think there is some kind of church exception, too, but it involves poverty vows or something and I'm pretty sure they investigate and make sure you really are under a vow of poverty that is religious before they let you off the hook.
