Regional Director Clarifies 65 Plus Benefit Misconception
Fred M. Wilcox, regional director of the Social Security board, explains that re assigning old age benefit account numbers to those aged 65 plus aimed to aid states in unemployment compensation administration and not to enroll seniors in the federal old age program. The federal system does not cover 65 plus, but states use Social Security numbers for records, so uniform numbering is needed. The post office aided by issuing numbers to prevent states from creating separate systems.
