Question 12. Are you or were you a member of Social Security?

[This paragraph is in the rural manual] Any person who at one time made and/or is making contributions to Social Security is considered a member. A member can be an employee or manual laborer in a public or a private company, or a worker who voluntarily contributes and heads of family covered by municipalities that are part of rural Social Security. If the member pays on their own or knows that his contributions are being deducted, the person is considered to be currently contributing.

If the person is or was a member, put an X in box 1.

If the person has never been a member, mark box 2.

If the person responds that they are or were a member, ask: Do you currently contribute? and when the answer is affirmative, mark box 3; when the response is negative, mark box 4.
