On May 31, 1947, having reached the retirement age with fifteen years service in the Federal Government Denis Crowley was retired as Chief of the Employment Tax Division in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Massachusetts. He entered the Government service in the Internal Revenue in 1933 as Assistant Chief of the Miscellaneous Tax Division, having been appointed by Joe Carney who had been named Collector of Internal Revenue. In this position he was also Head of the Bankruptcy and Dissolution Section. In 1936 he was made Assistant Chief of the newly created Social Security Tax Division. In 1939 he became Chief of this division, the name of which had been changed to the Employment Tax Division. Having been with this division since the law went into effect, and having made more than 50,000 rulings on the interpretation of it, he became the recognized authority on the law. It has been said of him by employers that he knew more about Social Security Tax law than any man in this part of the country. To his thirteen and one-half years service in the Internal Revenue the Government added one and one-half years of temporary service in the Ordnance Department in 1918 and 1919, and so made up the required fifteen years service and the retirement became mandatory.
