Change Security Card New Wives Reminded
June to a lot of lassies will mean marriage. One of the first things the new wife should do is have her name changed on her Social Security card. This can be done very simply by contacting the Social Security field office in room 408 of the Orpheum Building in Kenosha. Marriage increases the woman's stake in Social Security. When a woman marries a man who works under Social Security she gains protection from his account and can draw benefits on his account upon retirement or at the time of his death. But she never loses her protection on her own wage record and it is important that she protect her own Social Security account by notifying the Social Security Administration of her new name after marriage.
