What Does A Person Have To Do To Come Into This System?
He must work in a job that comes under the law; that is in a factory, mill, shop, mine, store, filling station, cafe, hotel, theatre, laundry or some other business or industry and he must get a Social Security Number card to make certain that his wages are properly credited. After the worker obtains an account number, the Social Security Board sets up an individual account for him. Every time his employer reports a certain amount of wage earnings for him, these wages are credited to the worker's Social Security account.
Later on when the time comes for the payment of benefits this account will be used as the basis upon which the insurance payments are calculated.
For further information call or write the Hagerstown office of the Social Security Board, located on the 6th floor of the Earle building, West Washington street, or send your inquiries direct to this newspaper.
