It is important for people in the
Wilkes-Barre area to know the
proper times to contact Social
Security, Thomas Lavelle, Social
Security manager in Wilkes-Barre,
said recently.
Knowing the five times action is
needed is too important to take for
granted, Lavelle said. It can mean
greater security for area residents
and members of their families.
A person should contact Social
Security:
— Before he or she gets a first job
to apply for a Social Security
number so that he or she gets
proper credit for earnings. Remem-
ber to apply at least two weeks
before the number will be needed. A
person needs evidence of age, citi-
zenship (or immigrant status) and
identify.
