Social Security benefits in
Warren County total more than
$800,000 each year, according
to Virginia Morris, field representative
of the Social Security
Administration.
She said this week that according
to latest statistics available
1,616 persons in Warren
County receive $814,956 in
benefits each year.
m- "There are probably many
other people who could be
receiving benefits right now
if they understood the retirement
test," she added.
The field rdfcresentative cx*
plained that any person of retirement
age can receive 12
monthly social security checks
a year if they earn $1200 a
year or less. Effective 1961, a
person can continue to work
and draw a certain number of
checks each year.
"If you earn more than $1200
a year," she said, "$1.00 of
