A good many people 65 and over are losing monthly social security payments because they have not recently checked with their social security office, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, district manager of social security in Winchester* These people fall into two main groups. In the first group are those who do not believe they have worked long enough under social 'security to qualify for payment^. Changes in the law in recent years have reduced the amount of work required for payments. Therefore, if you have not applied for social security or discussed your eligibility for payments since 1960, try again, You may now qualify for month ly payments. The second group are those who are 65 and over and are still working. If you are in this category, you may be eligible for some benefits. Many people believe that if they earn over $1200 a year, they cannot re ceive benefits. This is not the case. For instance, a man over 65 with a wife who is also 65 or older may, depend" ing upon the amount of his benefits, make as much as $3500 a year and still receive some payments from social security. In the case of a single person, it is possible in some instances to receive some payments even though the worker makes $2900 a year, Regardless of earnings, payments can be made for any month in which a person earns $100 or less and is not active in a business of his own. If his total earnings for the year are $1200 or less, payments may be made for every month in the year. If any of these situations apply to you, get in touch with your local social security di» trict office. The Winchester office is located at 133 W. Boscawen St., Winchester. An application is effective as much as 12 months before the month it is signed. Because of this, it is possible in some cases, to pay benefits for the preceding 12 months. Therefore, it is important that you do not delay in checking with the Social Security Adminis tration regarding your status. It may prevent further loss of payments which are rightfully yours. DON'T DELAY CHECK TODAY!
