“Social security has a very
good record-keeping system but
errors do happen." he said.
“Everyone should check his rec-
ord every two or three years to
be sure it is correct.”
The Social Security Adminis-
tration keeps 183 million indi-
vidual records of workers' earn
ings, hut any worker or self-
employed person may start a
check of his record by calling
the local office for a special post
card.
“The amount of social secur
ity benefits payable depends on
the earnings shown on the wor-
ker's record," Tuley added. So
be sure it is correct by calling
(915) 677-5262 and asking for the
post card form to check your
record."
