of hiring. Others will hold up the
first pay check until a , social
security card is furnished. The
main reason we urge these young
workers to get social security
cards is so that they can get full
and proper credit for their work.
So many young ; people think
about social security only In
terms of retirement payments at
age 65. These youngsters fall
to realize that they are building
protection against death and dis
ability. .The latest amendments
to the Social' Security, law make
disability payments possible with
less work if the worker becomes
disabled before age 31, than
under the old law.
I want to congratulate those
students who are graduating from
high school this year and to re
mind those who are going on to
further their - education, that
many colleges and universities
now use social security numbers
as student identification num
bers. .
Applications for social se
curity cards can be obtained at
almost any post office, and al
ways at your Social Security
