S IAL SECURITY Consider the following news article a warning from the S o c i a l S e c u r i t y Administration... "To err is common for Social Security - Officials urge workers to double-check records. The Social Security Administration is making so many errors in recording individual's earnings under the Social Security system that it urges everyone still paying into the system to check on the accuracy of his accounts every two or three years. For 1978, Social Security is making 3 million corrections... For 1979, Social Security is making 2 million corrections... For 1980, Social Security is correcting 2 million errors found so far. For 1981, Social Security has barely started the routine recording of earnings so nobody knows how many mistakes will develop... Each employee ...has a responsibility for making sure that his own record at Social Security is correct..." Reminder: Social Security normally does not make corrections after three years, three months, and 15 days. Only YOU can insure that your social security records are correct by reviewing your records every three years. Stop by the City Manager's Office to pick up a form to fill out requesting your earnings and benefits estimate statement from Social Security, before it's too late! (Article by James E.
