YOU AND YOUR
JOCIAL SECURITY
“Are you throwing money
away? Some workers arc; not
showing their social security card
to their employers when they
start on a new job,” stated Tom
Burtscher, field representative of
the Juneau Social Security office.
Not showing your card is like
not giving your name or policy
number when you pay your in
surance premiums, for your so
cial security card is your insur
ance policy. It can pay you
monthly benefits in case of dis
ability, death; or retirement. Yet
many people forget or don’t real
ize that eligibility for Social Se
curity disability, survivors, or
retirement benefits depend upon
having their earnings credited to
their individual social security
account. If they don’t give their
social security number, they don’t
get credit. Thus a person may
lose out on his social security j
benefits. If he doesn’t lose out |
entirely his payments may be •
lower.
The tax is withheld from each I
person’s wages. Don’t throw that |
money aw'ay! See that it works j
for you. Show your Social Seem - j
ity card when you start to work. |
God on Matanuska Street.
The Rev. Rex Lindquist, until
recently minister of tha Church
of the Open Door in Anchorage,
will be the speaker. It is expect
ed that Rev. Lindquist wall bring
with him the evening’s song
leader and special music.

attend the service.
