Isobel Warburton, age sixty-four, wrote latter to the Social Security Administration requesting a determination of the monthly retirement benefit that she would be eligible to receive at age sixty five. The letter that she received from So-al Security informed Ms. Warburton at her retirement benefits would be minimal because, although she had been a regular contributor to the Social Security system for twenty-six years, her level of contributions at that time had been very low, and she had made no contributions at all over the last fifteen years. Because Ms. Warburton's contributions had been made before the big inflationary jump in sales and in most people's contributions, her benefits were to be calculated on a very low base. Ms. Warburton strongly contested the Social Security determination on the grounds that she had not interrupted her contribution history. In the course of the investigation, the following statements were made: (1) Isobel Warburton stated that for the past fifteen years she had been employed as supervisor of the cutting room at Torero dress Manufacturing, Inc. (2) Herbert Fine, operating manager and chief stockholder of Torero, said that Isobel Warburton had indeed been employed at Torero for the past fifteen years.
