Your Social Security
Insurance Protection
Editor's note: Thousands of
workers have a Social Security ac
count card. It is a means of
identifying your rights under the
Federal Government's Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance program.
Some facts regarding it, and how
you should use it, are told in this
the fourth and concluding article
of a special series.
If you are an average worker
employed by a store or industrial
establishment, or by someone who
employs only one employee, you
may have several thousand dollars
of insurance protection for your
family under the Federal Govern-

merit’s Old-Age and Survivors In
surance Program.
True enough, you do not have
a finely engraved policy setting
forth all your rights, but you do
have a Social Security account
card and the insurance protection
for you and your family is written
into the law.
This Social Security card, there
fore, assumes real importance if
you consider the insurance pro
tection it affords you and your
family.
If you lose your card, you should'
immediately apply for a duplicate
which will carry the same name
and account number. This is im
portant because you should never
have more than one account num
ber. There is no charge for the
duolicate card which can be ob
tained on request at the nearest
office of the Social Sectirity
Board.
Do you, by any chance, have
more than one Social Security
card? Or is your card now frayed
and worn to the extent it should
be replaced by a new one?
If you have more than one card,
it is likely that some of your
earnings in the past three years
have been credited to one account
and other earnings to another ac
count. You can correct your ac
count in this respect by writing
to the Social Security Board.
In writing to the Board give
complete information on how
many cards you have and the
name and number on each card.
All but one card will be cancelled
and credits on the two or more
accounts where your wages now
appear will be merged into one
account.
If your card should be replaced,
give the Social Security Board the
exact name and number on your
card and ask for a duplicate. The
card issued by the Government is
the only official identification of
a person’s account. This card has
been issued for Social Security ac
count purposes only and has no
other use as an identification of
the holder.
Your Social Security card is also
used to maintain your wage
record under the Unemployment
Compensation law, a State law
which provides weekly benefits if
you lose your job through no fault
of your own. Do not confuse the
State and Federal legislation. The
State law provides protection a-
gainst the risk of unemployment
while the Federal act provides
monthly benefits at age 65 Jbo eli
gible workers who retire and also
similar payments to the widow
and children of a worker who dies
before reaching that age.
Thf Federal insurance plan ap
plies to employers who have one
or more employees regardless of
whether those employees work on
a permanent, part-time, or tempo
rary basis. The lawyer, the doc
tor, the dentist, the beauty parlor,
the small restaurant, retail store,
and all other employers are cov
ered by this legislation if they
hire an employee in connection
with their business or professional
service.
Workers who are now 65 years
or more of age are also covered
by the law if they work at a com
mercial, industrial, or professional
service employment. An amend
ment bringing these older workers
under the Federal law was made
retroactive to January 1, 1939.
Persons attaining age 65 who
apply for old-age insurance are
required to file satisfactory proof
of age. If there is a public record
of one’s age, the Social Security
Board requires that that state
ment be filed. A certificate of in
fant baptism, certified to by the
custodian of the church records,
will also be accepted.
If neither of these proofs of age
is available, the Board will con
sider other proofs of age such as
a discharge from the Army, Navy,
or Marine Corps, a statement on
an insurance policy, a marriage
certificate, or other public record.
If you are nearing age 65 r *d
contemplate filing an applicp i m
for old-age insurance withir a
few months or a year, the S ? al
Security Board will be glad to -H-
vise you what you should d i
get satisfactory proof of your a c.
If your wife is 65, she will be - 7-
titled to one-half the amount f
your insiyrance payment. If ) ss
than 65, she will receive that t-
mount when she attains that .ige
and files her claim.
The Social Security Board ''as
prepared a series of pamphlets de
scribing the benefits available to
workers employed at jobs covered
by this law. Copies of these pam
phlets may be obtained by writing
to the Social Security Board, 5021
