Morris , Field Representative 338- 3931 Some workers in Perquimans County and- other areas of the Albemarle region stand to lose valuable social security pro tection for themselves and their families because they fall to give their social security numbers to their employers, . Social security payments are based on earnings covered by the law. The employer is re quired to file an earnings re port for social security pur poses on behalf of each work er. If the social security ac count number of a worker is omitted from this report, he gets no credit for his earnings, That can mean a reduction in the amount of social security pay ments when the time comes for the worker and. his dependents to1 claim them. It could mean no payments at all. The risk Is too great' and the best and gnt r'"n Is for the worker t) r ive his correct social se cm . y i. .ii.ier to his employer e i -st iipy re goes to work ca a 1 ,. 1. t l ri'y account num t're- 11 w '1 as cv-.Ucatr c.'f M tt-t' i!-'t,ir.
