GOSPEL BREAKFAST
A group of caring individuals in
Washington have been seeking to
establish a One Church, One Child
program in their state. In May, Dr.
Virginia Phillips, Executive Direc
tor of Oregons’s program along with
other representatives, went to Seattle
to present a workshop on One Church,
One Child. State personnel showed
their support by sending letters of en
couragement to Washington state of
ficials regarding the implementation
of a One Church, One Child program
in their state. The result of this won
derful teamwork is that the W ashing
ton One Church, One Child program
has been funded for 21 months. To
all who are responsible for this out
come, we say congratulations and

SOMEONE SPECIAL IS
WAITING
Shala is a very cute 15-month-old
girl who is just learning to walk. She
has a good disposition and smiles
easily. She is inquisitive and attempts
to get into everything at the foster
home. She is described as a loveable,
sweet child who will make someone
a wonderful daughter. Shala is a very
attractive child, easy to take care of
and readily soaks up attention. She
has just begun to take her first unas
sisted steps and is in the process of
cutting several teeth at the same time.
She is a happy baby who smiles a lot.
Shala should do well in a one or
two parent family, she should do
well with siblings as she is in a foster
home with children ranging from two
to seven years old.
Shala is waiting for a loving,
adoptive family that she can call her
own. Subsidy available.

QUESTION: I will be 65 years old in a few months but don’t plan to stop
working at that time. Do I have to file for Medicare at 65?
ANSWER: If you are 65 or older and decide to keep on working, you
should sign up for the medical insurance until you actually retire. Your
employer must continue to offer you the same health insurance offered to
younger employees. When you do stop working or your employer s neaun
plan ends, you will have a special 7-month enrollment period in which to
sign up for Medicare insurance without penalty. Your employer’s coverage
may not offer similar protection^nd it may be to your advantage to have
both Medicare and the coverage offered by your employer.
QUESTION: I like the new 800 number Social Security line, but my
hard-of-hearing sister has trouble understanding things on the phone. Any
suggestions?
ANSWER: Yes. A new federal government telephone service allows
speech and hearing impaired persons to make and receive phone calls to
government agencies, including Social Security. The service is available
daily between 8:00 a.m. and & 7:00 p.m. Eastern time dialing 1-800-877-
8339 by telephone or TDD.
QUESTION: My purse was stolen last week. How can I get a new
Medicare card? Can I get Medicare benefits while I am waiting for a
replacement card?
ANSWER: To receive a replacement card, call Social Security at 1 -800-
234-5772. It will take about 4 weeks for your new card to arrive. In the
meantime, if you need medical services, you can still submit claims for
Medicare benefits as long as you know your Medicare claim number. This
number is a 9-digit Social Security number followed by a letter indicating
the type of benefits you are receiving. But don’t delay in contacting Social
Security for a replacement card.
QUESTION: I have heard I may request a copy of my Social Security
earnings record. Is this true?
ANSWER: Yes, you may do so by completing and mailing SSA Form
7004, entitled “ Request for Earnings and Benefit Statement” . You will
receive a statement o f your earnings record in less than 6 weeks. To get the
form, call toll free 1-800-937-2000 or write to Consumer Information
Center, Department 55, Pueblo, CO 81009. The form tells you about how
much you paid in Social Security taxes, and provides an estimate of
retirement,disability and survivors benefits you and your family might
qualify for now and in the future. It also provides some general information
about how the program works.
QUESTION: I retired when I was 62 (2 years ago) and started getting my
Social Security benefits at a reduced rate. I had a heart attack last year, and
some of my friends say I should be getting disability benefits. Would this be
possible?
ANSWER: It is possible you could establish eligibility for disability
benefits if you still meet the disability insured status requirements and you
are permanently and totally disabled. You might be able to receive a slightly
higher benefit if it is determined you meet the disability requirements. You
should make an appointment to file an application with the Social Security
office near you. Call 1-800-234-5772 to arrange for an appointm ent
