Common Error About 8oclal 8ccurity One of the common errors about tbe Social Security Act js the belief that all those who work at any time on farms are refused Federal old age benefit account numbers. Niels Christenaen. acting manager of the Columbia office of the Social Security board, says that the opening of the tobacco markets is likely to surprise many who go from farms to get work in the tobacco market towns in warehouses, stores shops, offices, factories, mills und other places of business. These workers, he points out, will find they must have account numbers when hey leave the farm and go into business. and they may be delayed in getting them if they wait until the markets open. Employers often refuse to employ anyone who has not taken out his account number. Account numbers are used by the government to help in seeing to it that every wage earner gets the old-age benefit that m- ,Mr" Chrl8te"8en calls attention to the fact that anyone can apply for one of these numbers at itSJ tInie ,u office hours, at any posth(.)8e, out of employment can w???h /\n(J farm labor or any other I ilia of labor can apply, bo as to have | a number ready when they seek work n occupations that do come under the old-age benefits of the Social Security Act.
