SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By: D. C. Nichols Q. We appreciate your ans wers giving the Who’s, What's, When's, Where’s, and How’s and also the Why’s and Where fore’s of Social Security. And we appreciate all the practical hints and tips that can keep peo ple from losing benefits they’re entitled to. Thank you! A We appreciate your appre ciation. In view of the many provisions and the technical complexity of this great program, the effort to keep our answers as simple, non technical, clear and to the point as possible isn’t always so easy as we wish it were. Surely no social security infor mation could be more important than the practical "hints" and tips” that you refer to. For peo ple do risk losing much needed benefits by not contacting us at the proper time, promptly and without delay. Naturally, though, thej need to know when or under what circumstances to contact our office by telephone, letter, or in person. We urge everybody to remem ber this rule: Always get in touch wTRKus when a "family crisis ” aceure e.g., a worker retires or becomes disabled, or dies Another good rule for work ing people to remember is Inquire before you retire. Under prerent law an employe or se’f emploved person is "fully retir ed" if he doesn’t earn more than sl.=>oo in 2 year; and, if other wise ntitiod, he could receive all his social security checks for that year. He might work full time until his earnings reach SISOO and then work no more during the year, or he might work part time all year long keeping bis eamines from going over SISOO. In either case he could get all of his benefit checks. He may earn over SISOO, and even up to S3OOO or more, and still ret part of his benefits for the year. But regardless of his total yearly earnings, benefits are payable fur an> month or mon ths in which he neither earns wages of over $125 nor is sub stantially active in self-employ ment Plain talk about life insurance Your Nationwide agent gives you straight (acts, good valves F«r u!l your insurance needs, see your Nationwide Agent. * WMmm CECIL C A-jGIIN * Burnsville Tel.

For arfother example an in dividual who has high annual earnings may still be entitled to benefits for certain months be cause he deosn’t earn high wag es or isn’t active in his trade, because, or profession during those months. However, he will have to file an application perhaps at the end of the year before any benefits can be paid. And finally, in any event, when anyone is approaching age 65 he or she should file applica tion for Medicare. Thousands of people filing for this coverage have found they were also en titled to some cash benefits that otherwise they would not have received. But having the Medi care protection itself can, of course, mean substantial money savings when one is hospitalized or has high medical bills. So here’s a tip if you're nearing 65 don’t wait too long to file for Medicare. Unless you file in the 3 months before you become 65 your Medicare cover will be delayed, at the very least ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY Having qualified as Adminis tratrix of the Estate of William R.
