THE GOLDTHWATTE EAGLft —FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5.1M7
■octal security cards may be ob-
tained. “A social security card,"
Mr. Pruitt said, “immediately
establlsbes.an Insurance account
with the United States Govern-
ment and opens the door to
eventual benefits under the Fed-
eral old-ace and survivors Insur-
ance system.”
The purpose of this Insurance,
Mr. Pruitt explaned, is to pro-
vide regular monthly payments
for the fanlly when* the bread-
winner grows old or. when he
dies. Since' benefit payments are
based on the worker’s wages in
employment covered by law, “It
Is Important ” Mr. Pruitt said,
“to have all’ wages correctly re-
ported and recorded In your so-
cial security account. Part-time
and temporary employment
counts, too, and every dollar of
wages from covered Jobs up to
$3,000 a year, helps to Increase
the production.”
Mr. Pruitt explained that the
number on a worker’s social
security card Is the same as that
under which his account Is set
up In the Baltimore office of the
Social Security Administration.
Many persons have the same
name, but no two persons have
the same number. Don’t lose
your original card—Issuing dup-
licates cost money, paper, and
time.

ployee so that they may be - re-
corded In the proper social se-
curity account; and he Is requir-
ed to 'provide each employee
