Problems getting my earnings recorded on my social security statement?

Question

My earnings from 1980 were never recorded on my social security statement. SS says I need a W-2 from 1980. My previous employer is dead. The pre-school were I worked has changed hands at least twice-I've contacted them. I've sent in Form 4506-twice: no records found, have written at least 6 letters about this. I have no paystubs from so long back, can't find my tax returns from that year, have been to the SS office and he said there are lot's of UNRECORDED earnings on his computer, in a black zone if you will, but he couldn't do anything to match me and to those earings. I found another person with whom I worked, he has no recorded income from that year either, we both have from 1979 though. I live in Scandinavia and am a citizen there, not USA, and I lack 1 credit from SS!, thus I won't get retirement from them. I have 60 days to repeal my case and afterward I won't be able to add the earnings to my statement even if I finally get some proof. Any ideas how to proceed in this? Thanks.

Answer 1

with none of your documentation i would say it is too old sorry. maybe you can come back for short time to get last credit needed

Answer 2

I'd have to agree with amazed,, work one quarter,, make $1,000. and you have what you need.
It could be the employer you had never turned in the employment ,, never turned in the withholding
