r Social Security News By C. V. Shdtoii, Field Rtpctsitntatht Faycttevilk Social Security Office Hive you fifed your annual report of earnings for 1970? Thy deadline to do so 1> rapidly amoMhing - it It April IS! Don't worry too much us you may not have to file the report. To be required to file the annual report, 3 considerations must be met: 1. You must have received one or more retirement or survivor's checks from Social Security during 1970. If you received disability benefits, you are not required to file the report. 2. You must have been under the age of 72 in one or more of the months of last year. 3. Your earned income for 1970 had to amount to more than $1680.00 for the year. Bear in mind, that only earned income counts. So - called' unearned income does not affect your right to receive monthly social security payments. Earned income is derived from only two sources - employment which means the work that you do for someone else as an employee, colloquially referred to as "public work" in this part of the country. And self - employment, where you are in business for yourself such as is the case with a doctor, lawyer, farmer, merchant and the like. So, you have decided that you do need to file an annual report of your earnings for 1970. Isn't this the same as the Federal income tax return that is also due by April 15? Sorry, it isn't. Maybe some day it will be, but this is a different report which must be filed with the Social Security Administration. To file your report which, again, is due by April IS, phone us in Fayetteville at 483-2661. We can complete the annual report form No. 777 for you and mail it to you for your signature.
