People getting social security checks should keep in mind their responsibility to report certain events that could affect their payments, Bruce A. Hundley social security manager in Culpeper, said recently.

These events include:

Change of mailing address;

Expected earnings in 1980 over the exempt amount —$5,000 for people 65 and over and $3,720 for people under 65;

Planned departure from the United States;

Work outside the U. S.

In addition, dependents and survivors should report:

Marriage;

Divorce or annulment;

Adoption of a child;

Child leaving the care of wife, widow, or widower;

Child nearing 18 who will continue as a full-time student.

People getting checks because they are disabled should also report:

Any work, ho matter how low the earnings;

Any improvement in their condition;

Any change in worker’s compensation.

Someone also should report if a beneficiary is no longer able to handle funds, and when a beneficiary dies.

More information about these events are contained in the booklet, "Your social security rights and responsibilities.” People who have lost or misplaced their copy can get another at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500.
