Q. When, and under what con
ditcns, is a benefciary requir
ed to file an annual report with
the Soc al Security Adrr. nistra
ticn? What form s used for the
report, and what earnings or in
come must be reported?
A. An annual report, on Form
777, must be filed by or before
April 15 by everyone who recev
ecl one or more monthly social
scour ty benefits during 1967
and earned over SISOO durng the
year with two exceptions.
Beneficiares who need not fie
the report are (1) those who
were 72 ydars old or older before
January 1, 1967 and (2) those
drawing rlisab l'ty benefits. (The
latter n ust report earnings as
soon as they go back to work
although their benef tsF may be
cent nued for several months
during a “trial work period.”)
Form 777 has been or-soon wll
be mailed to srme of the above
benef ciaries, who had previous
ly not fied us that they expected
to earn over SISCO during the
year 1967.
However, those beneficiares
who had not informed us that
they expected to earn over SISOO
dur ng 1967 but who actually
did so naturally w 11 n:t re
ceive the form by mail. So they
should, without delay, request
the form from the Socal Secur-

THE YANCEY RECORD
Sty Office, complete and return it
safely before April 15.
All cash wages or self-employ
ment income (whether covered
by soc al security or notl earned
by the benefic ary in 1967 must
be included in the report. But
investment income such as 'n
tcrest or dividends, retirement
pay or pens ons, and generally
rental income are not reported.
Three spec : al “types” of ren
tal income are, however, in
cluded in ths" report since they
constitute self-employment in
come rather than simple “ren
tals from real estate”: (l» In
come from a furnished apart
ment where hotel-1 ke services
are furnished to the tenant, (2)
farm rental income received by
a landlord' who substantially or
materially "partic pates” i
produe ng the - farm income, and
<3) rental ncome received by a
real estate dea’er in the opera
tion cf h s business.
Fa lure by a beneficiary to
make th s report on his 1967
earnings, by or before April 15,
may result n the loss of addi
tional benefits.
Q. My neighbor tells me it'a
easer now for an older pera~n
like me. covered by the “doctor
bll insurance” of Medicare, to
fie a claim for payment on
medical bills. But he also says
there’s a deadlne date on mak-
ing such clams for payment on
old medical bills. How about it?
A. Your neghbor is right oa
both counts.
Under the old law, if the doc
tor did not wish to submit h’a
bill to the medcare carrier, ya
hod to pay h m before you could
apply for the medical insurance
payment. But now, you can fPe
for this medcare benefit even
before you have paid the doctor
bill.
Now you simply need an
ITEMIZED bill (paid or unpa’d)
to send with your Reouest for
Payment (Form 1490). But ! f the
doctor’s office will fll out Part*
II of the form, this will even
take the place of an item aed
bll.
