good shape by that time.

What’s What
About
Social Security
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Question No. 11: My employer
says he has to keep my Social Se
curity account number card. Can
he do that?
Answer No. 11: No. An employ
er may not keep the account card
of an employee. He must give it
to the employee, although the em
ployer must keep a record of the
number so he can make the re
ports required of him by the Unit
ed States Treasury.
Question No. 12: I am a nurse
employed in a dentist’s office, but
he says he does not come under
the Social Security law and I do
not have to have a security ac
count card. It that so?
Answer No. 12: No. A dentist,
engaged in private practice of his
profession is an employer, within
the scope of the Social Security
Act, when he employs a nurse, or
anyone else for any work in the
course of his business. He must
get an employer’s identification
number. For this he should get
Form SS-4 from the nearest post
office or Social Security Board
Field Office and file it immediate
ly. You should file immediately |
for an employee’s account number,
using Form SS-5, which you can
get from your post office or your
nearest Social Security Board Field
office. Make your number known
to your employer.
Question No. 13: Does the Social

to apply for an employer’s identi
fication number?

Question No. 15: I have just re
ceived my copy of Form SS-2a. I
have several employees who do not
have acount numbers. What am I
required to do?
Answer No. 15—First, ask each
employee if he ever has filed an
application for an account number.

for a number—using Form SS-5—
should do so at once. Application

Dear Mr. Editor:
Tobacco should be harvested
when fullest of oil in order for it
to cure easily and be rich and su
perior in quality. Oil does not e
vaporate in the process of curing
like the sap does and remains to
give wealth to the weed. Oil and
sap (water) do not mix, but come
and go, at intervals, during the life
of the plant. When the sap rises
it runs the oil out (oil being light
er) through the pores of the leaf
to the surface where it forms a
“gum”, well known to all tobacco
growers. Tobacco haryested in this
condition will cure badly and be
light and inferior in quality.
My father grew tobacco for a
bout 70 years. He found that there
are better times than others for
harvesting tobacco in order to se
cure best results. I shall be pleas
ed answer any correspondence
from tobacco growers, provided
postage is sent for reply.
Yours truly,
W. H. Davis.
Board Field Office. Second, em
ployees who have applied, but have
not received a number, should file
again—using Form SS-5, paying
particular attention to question 14
on that form. When they get their
numbers they should make them
known to you so that you can
make your informational returns
to the Treasury.
Question No. 16: I am the presi
dent of a company which promotes
entertainment for church bazaars
and other organizations during the
summer months. In setting up the
paraphernalia we employ local la
bor on an hourly basis. Some em
ployees only work two or three
hours. Do we have to deduct taxes
from their wages and file returns
for these temporary employees?
Answer No. 16: You do. The appli
cation ot the Social Security Act
and the liability of the employer
to deduct and pay taxes under its
provisions does not in any way de
pend in the length of time a work
er is employed nor how little he
may be paid.
