If your net earnings are 13,000 or less for 1977, no social security benefits will be withheld; $1 in benefits will be withheld for each $2 earned over 53,000.

For details, ask any social security office for the leaflet if you work after you retire. Q. Sometimes when I call the social security office, the phone stays busy and it’s impossible to get through. Can’t you get more phone lines” A. Actually, we have sufficient lines to handle normal traffic. Apparently you are calling during our rush hours-the first part of the week and the first 10 days of the month when most calls are related to payments. Try calling later, during the afternoon, and if your busi ness is not urgent, call during the last 2 weeks of the month and during the later part of the week. Q. Why is social security also handling SSI? Aren’t they two different programs? A. Yes.

I’m 36 and was recently injured in an explosion where I work and was wondering: can I receive both social security disability benefits and workers compensation? A. If you ?re entitled to both, yes. But under the law, the total monthly payments to you and your family can’t exceed 80 percent of your average monthly earnings before you became disabled. Your full earnings must be counted. Social security bene fits will be reduced if combined benefits are over the 80 percent limit. Q. I just returned from a visit with my sister in Florida. While I was there, I had to go to a doctor. Should I send my Medicare medical insurance claim to the carrier in Florida or to the carrier in my home state? A. Medicare medical in surance claims should always be sent to the Medicare carrier for the state in which you received covered ser vices. Your Medicare Hand book contains a list of all Medicare carriers and their addresses. If you don’t have a copy of the handbook, you can get one at any social security office. special guests.
