NOTIFY SOCIAL SECURITY
BEFORE YOU ARE 65
Where has the time gone? It seems that
Only yesterday you were bouncing your youngest
son on your knee. Now he has finished college,
Carried, and his wife is expecting their first
child in a few months. You are 64 1/2 years old,
and in good health. Think you'll retire in 6
’aionths ? You say never! You feel too good.
There's a lot of work left in you yet.
There are several good reasons why a per
son who feels as you do should contact his Social
Security Office at age 65, even though he has no
Current plans to stop working. Often many per
sons reaching age 65 and continuing their work
never contact the Social Security Office.
The Social Security Administration realizes
that many persons reaching age 65 plan to keep
right on working and have no intention of retiring.
But that does not change the fact that those per
sons need to file a claim for social security.
Those reaching age 65 can file for and receive
Medicare benefits even though they plan to keep
right on working.
To obtain this Medicare coverage so that it
'Willbe effective at age 65, a claim must be filed
during the 3-months' period before the month a
Porson reaches age 65.
If you don't enroll during your initial en
rollment period, there will not be another oppor
tunity to enroll in Medicare until January, Feb-
ruary, and March of the next year. But the
effective date of the medical coverage would not
start Until July 1 of that year. In addition to
rnissing several months of protection, a higher
premium would have to be paid because of late
filing. These reasons alone should be enough to
encourage a person to file for social security at
age 65.
Another reason that might be important is
the award notice sent to all persons who file for
social security benefits. It gives the amount of
the check that will come each month after a per
son has retired. This means that a person can
know ahead of time how much he can expect
from social security and plan his retirement
accordingly. By knowing ahead of time what is
expected from social security, more complete
retirement plans can be made.
These are some of the reasons for filing for
social security 3 months before you are age 65.
Your case may be similar to the above example.
Unfortunately, many who have not contacted their
Social Security Office may have lost some monthly
benefits that can never be recovered. If you fall
into one of the above-mentioned categories, it is
time for you to contact your Social Security
Office. You can file your claim over the phone.
Call the Social Security Office nearest you.
