Those Planning To Retire Soon Should Contact S. S. Board "If you are a self-employed I person kfed US or over and plan! to rettre in 1992, you should con- j tact the local social aecujity of fice at onee," uyi Louis H. Cle-i Trent, manager of the local of fice. "Thia contact may be to your I advantage. Retirement benefit#, baaed on self-employment in- ! coma alone, will be reduced in amount U a claim ia filed in 1992." added Mr. Clement. The 1990 amendment* to the Social Security Act provide that net earnings for the year in which a ?elf -employed person filaa a claim will not be used in computing the benefit. Thus, if a self-tfnploycd person files a claim in 1952, his retirement benefit will be based on his net earnings for 1991, divided by 18. The divisor of 18 months is a re quirement under the 1990 amend- 1 men Is. "For example," continued Mr. Clement, "take the case of a local grocer. He has been /self-employ ed for the past 20 years and has not been covered by social secur ity until 1991. He had planned to turn over his business to his son and retire in April of this year, after he had earned the neces sary six quarters of coverage af ter 1990. If he retires in April, his benefit will be computed on the basis of his net earnings for 1991, divided by 18. If he con tinues in business until January 1993, his benefit will be comput ed on the basis of his net earn ings for 1991 and 1992, divided by 24. This might make r con siderable difference in the amount of his benefit." Mr. Clement points out that a claimant must make his own decision on when he wants to re tire and file his claim for bene fits. "However, if he will contact our office, we can point out the various advantages and disad vantages to him so that he will be able to make the most favor able decision," concluded Mr. Clement.
