STUDENTS 8EEKING JOBS NEED SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS As the graduation season draws to a close high school and college students were advised today to obtain s^l security account numbers before seeking employment. This advice was given by W. R. Moore, manager of the Social Security board field office in Rock Hill. "Many employers now insist that a new worker show his or her social security number before taking a Job," Mr. Moore said. "It is much easier to get a number before applying for work, whether temporary or permanent, full-time or part-tlmq, than it is to have to go to our office later and get a card, Meanwhile, the Job may be taken by someone else who already has a number. Numbers should be obtained even though there is no immediate cer talnty of work. "Any person who works In business commerce, or industry is covered by the Federal old-age Insurance system except In a few specific eases. There Is no age limit on thsr^down side, so far as coverage is concerned. Workers who reach Sge 66 no longer are covered under old-age Insurance, aa the social security law now. stands and deductions from their pay cease at that age." * Social Security account numbers may be obtained easily, quickly and without charge at Mr. Moore's office at 117 Hampton street The Rock Hill office eervee the following counties: Kershaw, Lancaster, Fairfield, Tork and Cheeter.
