WORKERS SHOULD SAFEGUARD
SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS
With applications for benefits un-
der the old-age and survivors insur-
ance program ot the Social Security
Board indicating increasing with-
drawals from the labor force, Jesse
C. Carter, manager of the San An-
tonio field oitice of tne Board today
warned that workers leaving em-
ployment covered by the Social Se-
curity Act should safeguard their
account number cards for the future.
Mr. Carter said that 323 persons in
this area served by the local olfice
applied for monthly benefits during
tne last quarter ot 1945, an increase
of 104 over the average for the first
inree quarters of the past year.
“In addition to the withdrawal
trom the labor force of workers who
are qualified, at the age of 65 or
later, for benefits under the old-age
and survivors insurance program,
there are thousands throughout the
country who are leaving covered em-
ployment for other reasons," Mr.
Carter said.
Mr. Carter emphasized that the so-
cial security number assigned to a
worker in his first job in covered
employment is for his lifetime use.
A worker who loses his card
should ask for a duplicate, and not
ior a new card.
