11.  Sex            12. Color 
If registered with US Employment Service, give registration Number _____
If you have previously filled out a card like this, state place & date  _____

Keep in mind -  Social Security has not always been around.  It was started 
around 1932.  Only men who worked for someone when Social Security was 
instituted, or after,  got cards.  Many farmers and self employed men had no 
need for them.  Quite often older men, (past working age) would not have 
gotten them either.  Women did not typically work outside the home until the 
1960's.  Many women never got Social Security cards, collecting only widow's 
benefits at the time of her husband's death.  Women that DID work outside of 
the home, 
were also required to register with  Social Security.  
Good Luck,  Jackie  Winter Springs, FL
