If you are now employed or
self-employed, chances are very
good that you have social
security card, as about 80 per-
cent of the people who work
for living are covered by social
security. However, if you plan
to work for the first time over
the Christmas holidays and do
not yet have a social security
card, you should get one now.
Getting d social security card
is like getting married; for
better or worse, till death do
you part The number on your
card and your earnings are in
separable. It's easy to get another
card, but it will have the same
number because you never
change your number. You ladies'
may get married and change
your name, but the number stays
the same.
You may Work IN any part OF
the United States or on foreign
soil, but the number is still the
same. 1t is not important Wheth-
er you are employed on a farm
or in a factory, or on another
job, or whether you are self
employed on a farm, or in a
business. or as a minister, or any
combination of the foregoing;
you use the same number.
When you report for work,
show the card to your employer.
Don't try to memoriZe the num-
Der; just carry the card with
you. If you are self-employed be
sure to copy the number just
as 1t appears on your social
security card on schedule Sc
