fields in remote areas to support
our overseas forces. Seabee units

bat action in Korea and Viet

SOCIAL SECURITY
Questions And
Answers
By
NORRIS G. GRUBBS
Field Representative
Q. When my children gradu
ated from high school, I went
back to work. I plan to retire
at 62. My husband will be 66
then. Will I get retirement
benefits based on my husband’s
work record or my own?
A. You may be eligible for
reduced monthly retirement
benefits on your own record,
as well as your husband’s.
However, you can’t collect
both benefits but you’ll al
ways receive the higher of
the two amounts.
Q. How old does a disabled
worker have to be to receive
Social Security monthly dis
ability benefits?
A. There is no minimum
age, but a minimum work
period under Social Securi
ty is required to be eligible
for disability benefits. If a
person becomes disabled be
fore 24, he needs credit for
\Vi years of working during
the 3 years Just before his
disability began. If his dis
ability starts between 24 and
31, needs work credits for
half the time after 21 and
before he became disabled.
If a worker becomes disabled
after 31, he needs credits
Plato Allison
Buried Friday
Plato M. Allison, 67, of 28
Broad St., died last Wednesday
morning at his homo in Asheville
after a short illness.
He was a native of Brevard,
has resided in Asheville for 35
years and was a retired meat
cutter, having worked in various
establishments in Asheville.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs.
Mary Ervin Allison; a brother,
Lloyd A. Allison of Durham: two
sisters, Mrs. Gertrude A. Mar
tin of Brevard and Mrs. Helen
L. McEntire of Honolulu, Ha
waii.

m. last Friday in the chapel of
Penland and Sons Funeral
Home. Burial was in Riverside

ter, Charles Sabine, Ray Han

McEntire and Willard Swilling.
for at least 5 years of work
in the 10 years bef ore the
start of the disability.
Q. I’ve been carrying my
own health insurance for
years. Since I’m getting close
to 65, I was wondering if I
should keep my own private in
surance or enroll in Medicare.
Can you help me decide?
A. Check with your insur
ance company before you
reach 65. Most private in
surance companies adjust
their coverage at 65 so that
it pays only for items not
covered by Medicare. Don’t
delay, because you’d have to
enroll before the month of
your 65th birthday to get full
Medicare protection as soon
as you are 65 years old.
Q. I recently sent a post
card form to check on my
earnings under Social Securi
ty. When I received a state
ment of my earnings, I found
that there was an error for the
year 1969. How do I go about
getting it corrected?
A. You should gather up
any information you may have
about your 1969 wages (pay
roll slips, withholding state
ments, etc.) and call or visit
any Social Security office.
There are people there who
will help you straighten out
your earnings record.
