Information On
Social Security

Now is the time to check your So
cial security wage record for 1887, it
was said today by Glenn H. Pittenger,
manager Of the Youngstown, Ohio,
field office Of the Bureau of Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance. In explain
ing the reason for making such a
check-up at this time Mr.. Pittenger
said:
workers whose wages for 1887
were not reported correctly to the
Social Security Board have the rest
Of this year to request a change in
these wage records for 1887. The law
allows a period of four years after
the year in which the wages in ques-
ton were received, during which the
worker may obtain correction Of any
error in the wage record.
"The wage records of the Board
concerning employees wages are taken
from employers reports. In some in
stances the reports may be incom-
plete or Incorrect due to misspelling
of name, a mistake in copying the
social security account number, or
emitting the number entirely. Any
workers who has reason to believe his
wages have not been reported cor
rectly should check at once with the
Social Security Board" Mr.. Pittenger
added.
In calling attention to this feature
Of the law while there still is time to
have the first years record cleared
up, Mr.. Pittenger said his office will
supply postcards for requesting wage
statements and that the only cost for
this service is one cent for postage, to
be paid by the person seeking the
statement.
