FIEI H REPRESENTATIVE
l ayettevilk Social Security Office
I've been harping in these
columns to call Fayettcvillc to
file your claim for Social
Security benefits!
To this sou might well reply
that that is fine, but I have to
make a long distance call to
Fayettcvillc from where I live,
and this will cost me money.
Also, since I understand it
might take from 15 to 45
minutes to file my claim via
the telephone, this could really
run my phone bill up
I am sorry if I have confused
anyone regarding a (declaim,
as we call it. There arc sevcial
ways we can overcome anyone
wishing to file his claim by
phone from running up his
phone hill.
First, all you need do is
phone us in Fayettcvillc at
483-2661. and let the person
you speak to kYtow that you
are interested in tiling a claim
for social security benefits
That person will get your name
and phone number and have
one o f o u i claims
representatives call you back.
All of this shouldn't take more
than the initial three minutes
allowed for a lung distance call
and the charge should not be
more than 45 cents
Second, if you want to save
the 45 cents involved in a long
distance call, y ou can drop us a
line or mail us a post card
asking to have your claim filed
by phone Include your name
and telephone number, and wc
will call you.
At this point, you may well
be wondering that all of these
long distance calls arc going to
cost the Social Security
Administration a lot of money
This is not so. as the Social
Security Administration makes
use of the Federal
Telecommunications System
which is a leased phone system
for which there is a flat
monthly charge not bascc
upon the total number of lonj
distance calls made
Again, our telephone
