Are You Retiring?
If you are retiring in the near future, you can speed the delivery of your first chock by bringing all necessary evidence with you on your first visit to the local social security office, so stated Miss Florence Schaffner, Field Representative of the Alexandria Social Security Office.
’ Almost everyone who applies for monthly benefits mustt prove his age. A birth certificate is the best evidence, but if not available, there are many other types of evidence which will prove age, such as baptismal certificate, insurance policy, family Bible, etc.
Evidence of recent earnings ijflay , also be needed to establish your monthly payment The 1960 withholding tax statement (Form W-2) is the best evidence for an employee. The self-employed should bring copies of the'two previous years’ tax' return and evidence to show that tax ^returns were filed with Internal Revenue Service. A cancelled check, money order stub, or bank receipt is sufficient evidence to show that the return was filed.
If married, and your wife is also applying for monthly benefits, evidence of her age will also be required.
Miss Schaffner stated if you have any doubt about what evidence will be needed to process your claim, call the social security office before you retire and the representative will be glad to explain just what evidence you might need. If you have the necessary proofs when you apply for benefits, it will help speed up your first check.
