NOTICE TO NEW
JOB SEEKERS
Social Security Official Ad-
vises Students Seeking
First Job
GET ACCOUNT CARD

Vacation will soon be here and
many area students are already
starting out to look for their first
job. Some will be looking for
work during only the vacation
period and others will be seeking
permanent employment. In either
case, Myhon Milbouer, manager Of
the Wilmington social security Of
fee. advises these young people to
be sure that they have a social Sc
curity account number card. The
manager stated that almost all
types of employment are now un-
der the Social Security program
and that in applying for such a
job the applicant will have to furn-
ish his employer with his social Sc
curity account number. Mr.. Mil
bouer explained that the employer
will be required to report the
amount of wages paid the individ-
ual and that in making this report
he must show the employees name
and social security account num-
ber. This is necessary to be sure
the worker receives full credit for
all wages paid him. Employers
know the Importance of the social
security account number and con-
sequently, many of them will not
hire an individual unless he has his
social security account number
card Your chances of getting a
job will therefore greatly increase
if you have your social security
card with you when you apply"
Mr.. Milbouer said. A person who
has already had a social security
account number assigned to him
should never get another one; he
should always ask for duplicate
card with the same number that
was assigned to him originally,
Mr.. Milbouer advised. Social Sc
curity account number cards may
be obtained free of charge at the
Wilmington Social Security Office.
In other areas in Delaware, appli-
cations for account numbers may
be obtained at any post office.
