Ida May Fuller
The first person in the USA to get a regular Social-Security check was Ida May Fuller on January 31, 1940. She got a check for $22.50.
Some folks had gotten checks before Ida but they had made single payments and got a single payment later.
She was the first person to be regularly paid on a monthly basis. When she died at 100 years old she had received nearly $23,000 from her $23.75 in deductions.
Laptop thief gets 74,000 Social Security numbers.
The Wall Street Journal said on January 24, 2014 that our dear Coca-Cola company got robbed at the head office in Atlanta, of laptops that had names, addresses and social security numbers on them for 74,000 people.
Well I can imagine what problems could come from that!
Either nothing or a financial disaster with banks involved and money flying around into different bank accounts here and there and out of our reach.
This has been a big problem for Target
As well with credit card numbers out there for the thieves to disperse and cause grief with. What a day!
