Check SS Record Every 3 Years
Stanley Ear, manager of the Social Security Administration office in Beckley, urges workers who have had Social Security taxes deducted to check their record at least every three years. Request a post card at the Beckley district office to obtain quarters of coverage and any needed corrections. Employers must provide receipts year end and when employment ends to verify deductions and wages, as future benefits depend on the earnings record kept in Baltimore.
