The first Social Security cards were issued starting in 1936, they did not have this legend. Beginning with the sixth design version of the card, issued starting in 1946, SSA added a legend to the bottom of the card reading "FOR SOCIAL SECURITY PURPOSES -- NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION." This legend was removed as part of the design changes for the 18th version of the card, issued beginning in 1972. The legend has not been on any new cards issued since 1972. No. This is a myth.

Sometimes social security numbers are included in records we receive from the Cancer Registry, the UCSF clinical database, Medicare ( HCFA), and other sources. These sources use social security numbers because they can be helpful to correctly identify people, especially for those with frequently encountered names or in the event someone changes his or her name. In some cases, we have kept the social security numbers on the computer after the study had ended.

The Social Security Act was signed by FDR on 8/14/35. Taxes were collected for the first time in January 1937 and the first one-time, lump-sum payments were made that same month. Regular ongoing monthly benefits started in January 1940. The term was first used in the U.S. by Abraham Epstein in connection with his group, the American Association for Social Security.

Social Security Disability Insurance. The amount of your monthly disability benefit is based on your lifetime average earnings covered by Social Security. If you would like an estimate of your disability benefit, you may request a Social Security Statement that displays your earnings record and provides an estimate of your disability benefit. It will also include estimates of retirement and survivors benefits which you and your family may be eligible to receive now and in the future.

No. There are no credible plans to replace Social Security as the foundation for the retirement of American workers.

In elementary school, Chris was diagnosed with a behavior disorder that limited his functioning severely enough that he qualified for Social Security's Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. SSI provides economic support to disabled children like Chris who come from homes with limited income and resources. As long as he stayed in school and didn't work, Chris was qualified to receive SSI benefits until he turned 18.

Yes. Because of the severe health problems caused by his alcoholism, Randall qualified to receive monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments

While we may easily recognize driversâ?? licenses, Social Security cards and other paper-based identification, they can be used by anyone. Biometrics, by their nature, are non-transferable. Unlike a driverâ??s license, Social Security card or PIN, your fingerprint canâ??t be lost or stolen.

They will be entering the USA with legal work visas and can get a Social Security Card and apply for your state's drivers license. Please check with your state's Dept of Motor Vehicles. They can be placed on your payroll to be paid by check. No more fear of roadside INS check.

If Social Security is not changed, payroll taxes will have to be increased, the benefits of today's younger workers will have to be cut, or massive transfers from general revenues will be required. Social Security's Trustees state, "If no action were taken until the combined trust funds become exhausted in 2040, much larger changes would be required. For example, payroll taxes could be raised to finance scheduled benefits fully in every year starting in 2040.

Doctors' offices often need your Social Security number to process your health insurance claim. For example, Medicare and many commercial insurers use the customer's Social Security number as a primary identifier. Even as insurers move to change this practice, the customer's Social Security number may still be needed when coordinating benefits between a patient's primary and supplemental insurances, each of which may use a separate identifying number.

Social Security numbers and other confidential information will be hidden in the Operational Data Store. However, individuals with the PO Purchaser, PO Requester, all but one Labor Distribution responsibilities, several HR/Payroll responsibilities, and central office users will see social security numbers. All users who have access to this information will be required to sign an Electronic Access Agreement form prior to receiving access.

Social Security benefits are determined by wages reported each year for you. Benefits are calculated on the earnings a person receives during his/her lifetime. The higher the earnings and the number of years worked, the more the monthly benefit will be. Benefits are payable at full retirement age for anyone meeting the minimum criteria for social security credits (with reduced benefits available as early as age 62).

A disability is defined by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a person's inability to perform any kind of work for which he or she is suited because of an injury or a medical condition. In order to qualify, the disability must be expected to last for at least one year or result in death. The disability can be a result of a physical or mental condition or a combination of a number of such conditions.

Social Security is "social" in the sense that, because it is a virtually universal program, Americans share the risks of paying for disability, untimely death, and low earnings in old age. A "privatized" system pushes the risks onto the individual. The current Social Security system is "secure" because it uses a set benefit formula to insure a level of benefits relative to a worker's earnings history.

Workers' compensation and Social Security Disability are equal programs, but their eligibility requirements and benefits vary a great deal. You are permitted to collect Social Security disability payments and, at the same time, private disability payments from an insurance policy or coverage from your employer. You may also receive workers' compensations benefits at the same time as Social Security disability benefits.

Social Security Numbers were required solely to let us verify your identity and current address, and report the small amount of taxable interest that may apply to your check. The Court issued a detailed Protective Order (click on the Court Orders, Filings, and Status Reports re: Distribution link of this website), to protect the privacy interests inherent in these numbers.

Beginning in tax year 2007, you may deduct up to 20% of taxable social security and social security disability benefits. The deductible percentage of your social security and social security disability benefits will increase until 2012. A breakdown of the yearly percentage is as follows: In order to be eligible for the full deduction, your Missouri adjusted gross income must fall within certain income limitations. If your income exceeds the limitation, you may qualify for a partial exemption.

Under the Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI/Title II), there are three basic categories of individuals who can qualify for cash benefits on the basis of disability: A person under age 65 who worked long enough to be covered under Social Security and then had to stop working due to a disability.

No. Social Security was never meant to be the sole source of income in retirement. It is often said that a comfortable retirement is based on a "three-legged stool" of Social Security, pensions and savings. American workers should be saving for their retirement on a personal basis and through employer-sponsored or other retirement plans.

Yes. Presently, Social Security collects more in taxes than it pays in benefits. The excess is borrowed by the U.S. Treasury, which in turn issues special-issue Treasury bonds to Social Security. These bonds totaled $1.9 trillion at the beginning of 2006. Social Security received $94 billion in interest from bonds in 2005. However, Social Security is still basically a "pay-as-you-go" system as the $1.9 trillion is a small percent of benefit obligations.

Social Security's financing problems are long term and will not affect today's retirees and near-retirees, but they are very large and serious. People are living longer, the first baby boomers are nearing retirement, and the birth rate is low. The result is that the worker-to-beneficiary ratio has fallen from 16.5-to-1 in 1950 to 3.3-to-1 today. Within 40 years it will be 2-to-1. At this ratio there will not be enough workers to pay scheduled benefits at current tax rates.
