SOCIAL SECURITY
By
ORRIS G. GR
Q. I know a man in this town
that worked with me in the
same plant before he retired a
few years back. We made the
same wages, a little over $5,000
a year. Now I’m retiring- and I
find I won’t draw as much as
he does! Isn’t this wrong?
A. . Probably not, as your
benefit amount, and his, would
have been double • checked
when the computation took
place. While as a general
rule the same wages would
produce the same benefit
amount, the computation of
the benefit amount is based
on personal average earnings
over a given number of years,
depending on the person’s
age. The older the person is
the fewer years must be av
eraged out. Thus if your for
mer co-worker is older than
you are he would have been
able to use fewer years in fig
uring his benefit., and thus be
able to select more of his best
years, your local Social Se
curity office or representa
tive will be glad to furnish
you with a pamphlet, # SSI
35, that will permit you to
figure your own potential
benefit amount. They will,
of course, also answer your
questions and assist you in
your computation. You don’t
have t.o figure your own bene
fit amount when you file a
claim, however, this is done
by Social Security Adminis
tration’s computers, using the
complete earnings records
and the most advantageous
computation methods. ' }
Q. I’m a housewife now, and
a bit older than my husband.
I haven’t worked for over 15
years, but I worked 12 years un
der Social Security before I
married. Can I freeze my rec
ord, now that I’m not working,
so my credits won’t run out. I’d
like to be able to draw my own
Social Security when I’m 62.
My husband may work on until
he is 65 so I wouldn’t be able
to draw on his credits until
then. Or have I just lost my
credits by not working right on?
A. If you have worked
enough years to be fully in
sured under the law you will
never lose your right to bene
fits. Since you have worked
10 or more years you are fully
insured regardless of your
age, and will be able to re
ceive a benefit at age 62. How
ever, the younger you were
when you quit work the smal
ler your benefit will be as the
computation of your bene
fit amount will be based not
on the fact that you were ful
Iv insured but. rather on your
average earnings to age 62.

a car “wrecker” expert to com?!
up and look.
They came in a little Jeep
Universal. They looked at the
truck and conferred. Then
Bill said they were going to
try pulling it onto the road
backwards by backing the
Jeep. They hooked on and
while I literally held my
breath for fear the truck
would go over the bank and
take the Jeep with it, eased
it bark onto the road.
It looked simple but it was
n’t. It called for a lot of skill,
pood judgment and experience.
One wrong move and the truck
would have been at the bottom
of the hollow, a total loss; for
it would have required bulldoz
ing a road up the hollow to get
it out, assuming it was worth
it after rolling down the bank
There was also a possibility of
Bill and Donald Lee going over
with it.
If the Jeep tow hadn’t done
the job, I suppose I’d have
bad to have a wider road bull
dozed to get Donald Lee’s big
wrecker up there—and then
only when the ground was
thoroughly dry.
It didn’t rain, by the way.
That’s one sweat I could have
avoided had I known; but, of
course, I didn’t. As an ex
weatherman, the rain forecast
looked mighty good to to me.
That was the last time the
truck’ll be up that road. I’ll
either carry what I need to use
up or I’ll find me a mule and
a sled. Should have done that
in the first place, I know that
now.
I also know even better
what I’ve often written be
fore. I’ve got the most capable
friends and best neighbors of
anybody.
