Social Security
Representative
Due Here April 18
Your Social Security representa
tive is due back in town. Burt
Paulsen, resident representative
from Anchorage, will be in Nome,
Wednesday, April 18. He will be
in the Court Room of the Post
Office Bldg, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
On Monday, April 16, he will be
in Unalakleet at the Unalakleet
Lodge from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Every
one in the Nome and Unalakleet
area is urged to make a note of
Mr. Paulsen’s visit if they wish
to file a social security claim or
have a question about social se
curity.
Self-employed business people
have been covered by social security
since 1961 but few except those
who have retired or become eli
gible to retire have bothered to
find out if their credits are in order.
Some people failed to file social
security reports because they
thought that coverage was optional.
Credits to your social security ac
count as a self-employed person de
pends on the social security sched
ule C section of the income tax re
Social security credits for the
self-employed are by the year. If
the self-employed man gets any
credits he gets four “quarters of
coverage.” Because of the changes
in 1960 and 1961, he does not need
as many credits as in the past. He
now needs one quarter of coverage
for each year from January 1, 1951,
up to the year he is 65. (For the
women, the time is up to the year
they are 62).
A self-employed person can get
a record of his social security
credits by requesting a postal card
from Mr. Paulsen who will send
the card to the central office in
Baltimore. In return, you will re
ceive a record of the earnings
credited.
