@auntiebelle1969 - No. You are not required to file form SS-8, but you are required to report the income. Any compensation you receive as a poll worker is to be reported as taxable on your IRS Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, even if you do not receive an IRS Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, for this work. It is considered other Miscellaneous income. See steps below for reporting this income.
I think you are referring to Form SS-8 - Firms and workers file Form SS-8 to request a determination of the status of a worker for purposes of federal employment taxes and income tax withholding. Use this link for more information about the form SS-8: Form SS-8 IRS Explains
