Social Security Head
Tells Brides How to
Officially Change Names
Women workers who marry
should notify the Social Security
Administration immediately of
their change in name, James C.
Brown, manager of the Juneau
field office, announced this week.
A special form for this purpose
may be obtained from the local
post office.
The original social security
card should be attached to the
form, when it is forwarded to
Juneau.
The worker will have no change
in number. The Juneau office
will issue a new card, carrying
the woman’s married name, but
under the same social security
number. Any change in number
might result in a loss of benefits,
Mr. Browne pointed out.
Further Social Security infor
mation may be obtained from Mr.
Browne’s Juneau office. He
should be addressed at P. O. Box
1331, Juneau.
