Soc. Security Notes

Persons receiving social security benefits are required to report any event which may affect their benefits, Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Va. reminded beneficiaries this week.

Failure to report an event promptly might cause inconvenience to the beneficiary and may delay his benefit checks.

One event which should be reported by those receiving social security checks is change of address. It is simple to report and should be done before a person moves to a new address.

Another event which must be reported promptly is change in work status. Any beneficiary who works and expects to earn more than $1,680.00 during a year must report this fact. Often some benefits are still payable even though a person earns more than $1,680.00.

Some other events which a woman receiving benefits as a wife must report are a divorce from her husband or the death of t her husband. A widow must report remarriage if her benefits are being paid on her deceased husband’s account.

Any person receiving checks for a child must also advise the Social Security Administration if the child marries, dies, or leaves his custody.

If benefits are being paid to an individual because of a disability, a prompt report must be made if the disabled person engages in any work, or if his condition improves enough so he could return to work.

Anyone who has a question as to whether or not a particular event must be reported should write, phone, or come into the local social security office at 20 S. Cameron St. Telephone number is 667-1511.
