SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
CLARIFIED

In an effort to insure seasonal
or part time workers against
the loss of any benefits that may
accrue to their credit, Mr.. U. A
Knapp, Manager of the Charles
ton Field Office of the Social
Security Board, has issued the
following suggestions for the
guidance of employees:
l. Keep the name and address
of each employer for whom you
work, rs well as the record of
your own wage-earnings, in
every job you hold.
>. Make your account number
known to every employer for
w h o m you have worked since
the last day of December. 1886.
Whatever wages or salary you
may earn in any job, covered by
the act, after the last day of
1886 and before you reach the
age of 65 { or die), should be
credited to your social security
account. The law requires each
employer to report your wages
so that you may get the full
amount of benefits due you. If
your employer does not know
your number he cannot make n
report that will assure a cor
rect record Of your wages.
3. You should have only one
social security account number.
If you lose your account card.
ask the social security board Of
flee for Il duplicate. DO not get
n new NUMBER DO NOT GET A
NEW NUMBER If you have
more than one number, keel the
first one issued to you, but send
the other cards to the Manager
of Your Social Security Board
field Office To be cancelled. Tell
INN you are returning the extra
numbers which were issued to
YOU by mistake. Also tell him
the number which was first is
sued to you.
a. Write down your social
security account number i'm the
family billie or write it on a
slip of paper and file it away
with other valuable papers. The
Social Security Act offers you
old-age protection. Hold on to
your account card.
