Notes

Are you getting ready to retire? Hazel F. Crumpton, social security manager in Winchester, has some tips that may help save you time and trouble when you apply for your social security benefits. A telephone call to the social security office is a good first step. The office can answer your questions and tell you how to apply and when to do it. Often, your claim can be taken by telephone and sent to you for signature.

When you apply bring your social security card or a record ol your social security number, proof of your age, and your last year’s income tax withholding statement. (If you are self employed, bring a copy of Iasi year’s income tax return anc evidence of payment of the self employment tax.)

If your wife also is applying foi benefits, she should bring evidence of her age and her socia security card or a record of hei number if she has one.
