Because the earnings record is so important for Social Security benefits, a person should check his or her Social Security earnings record at least every three years to make sure that earnings are properly recorded. This will help insure a correct benefit amount in the future.

Checking the earnings record is particularly important if a person changes jobs frequently or works at more than one job, if he or she works in very small businesses, or is selfemployed, Mr. Hundley said.

To get a PEBES, a person should request and complete Form SSA7004, Request for Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement, by writing to: Consumer Information Center, Department 55, Pueblo, Colorado 81009, or by calling Social Security.

For other information, contact the Culpeper Social Security office. The telephone number is (703) 8253500.
