His name. We further obey the com ­
mand o f our Lord by being baptized
(emerged) in water. This is first done
as an act o f obedience; and then, as a
demonstration that typifies our death,
burial, and resurrection w ith Christ.
We then are guided to w alk in love
(agape) as proof that we are disciples
o f Him who is love.
The scripture teaches that we are
to labor hard to advance the church
particular our congregation where
we arc members)—to advance it in
biblical knowledge; to advance it in
holiness; to cause it to be a place o f
com fort for the weary who abide in
sin.
The scripture clearly teaches that
I am to give to the causes o f my
church no less than ten percent o f my
income. Those causes that I am to
support are: the support o f the Pastor,
the support o f Outreach, and Current
Expenses.
Finally, the scripture teaches that
lam to let the word o f C hrist dw ell in
me so richly that I am to become
more and more like Jesus.
The scripture further teaches:
1. Matthew 6:33- “ But seek ye
first the kingdom o f God, and His
righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you. Resolve to
my church first place in m y affec­
tion, prayers, gifts and service above
every organization o f human origin.
2. Hebrews 10:25-” N ot forsak­
ing the assembling o f ourselves to­
gether, as the manner o f some is; but
exhorting one another; and so much
the more, as ye see the day approach­
ing.’ ’ Resolve to attend a ll assem­
blies at least Church School, M orn ­
ing Assembly, Evening Assembly and
Mid-W eek.

Supper.
5. Matthew 18:15-17-” Moreover
i f thy brother shall trespass against
thee, go and te ll him his fa u lt be­
tween thee and him alone; i f he shall
hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But i f he w ill not hear thee, then take
w ith thee one or tw o more, that in the
mouth o f two or three witnesses every
word may be established. And i f he
shall neglect to hear the church, let
him be unto thee as an heathen man
and a publican.’ ’Resolve to do a ll in
my power to rescue an erring Brother
or Sister.
6. Jude l: 3 - ” Beloved, when 1
gave a ll diligence to w rite unto you
o f the common salvation, it was
needful to me to w rite unto you and
exhort you that ye should earnestly
contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints.”
Resolve to stay w ith the Faith as

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
For Social Security or Supplemental
Security Income Assistance
Q U E S T IO N : M y w ife has been receiving Social Security benefits lo r
four years. Every summer she w orks for a berry farmer and earnings even
though the small earnings don’ t increase her benefits. W hy docs she have to
pay taxes on these earnings?
A N S W ER : A g ricu ltura l employers, farmers and farm crew leaders arc
required to pay Social Security taxes on most farm workers. I f your w ile
does agricultural labor for an em ployer who pays out $2,500 or more in cash
wages during a year or who pays out less than $2,500 but pays her, or any
other worker, $150.00 or more, she w ill have to have social Security taxes
w ithheld from her wages. The taxes may not help her gel a higher benefit,
but they w ill help ensure the continuation o f benefits to her and future social
Security retirees.
Q U E S T IO N : I am hard o f hearing, but not to ta lly deaf. 1 tried to contact
SS A through the deaf to ll-free number and co uldn ’ t get anyone on the line.
H ow does that number work?
AN SW ER : W e may have m isled you in a previous Question & Answer
column. The deaf to ll-free number w ill only w ork for people w ho have a
telecomm unications device fo r the deaf, a T .D .D . You can learn how to get
a T .D .D . by ca llin g 1-800-848-4442 or by w ritin g to the Labor and
Industries B u ilding, Salem, OR 97310.
Q U E S T IO N : When I got married, I was contacted by a company called
O ffic ia l Record Service in Nevada. They told me I needed a new Social
Security card and that they w ould get me a card fo r $10.00. This is the firs t
tim e I was ever charged fo r a Social Security card.Has there been a change
in your policy.
A N S W ER : Social Security does not charge for new or replacement
cards. There are several companies that get lists o f marriages and births and
then contact the individuals to o ffe r them help, fo r a fee, in getting a card.
U sually their letters loo k very o ffic ia l, so some people send the money. The
company just sends the person a Social Security form , or a copy o f one, to
complete. We at Social Security w ill provide the same service at no charge.
Q U E S TIO N : A m I autom atically covered fo r M edicaid when I file for
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
A N S W ER : N ot in Oregon and certain other States. Entitlem ent to
M edicaid is not always autom atic. I f you liv e in a State that has an
agreement w ith Social Security to make M edicaid e lig ib ility determ ina­
tions, your SSI application w ould serve as an application fo r Medicaid.
H owever, since Social Security does not make M edicaid e lig ib ility determ i­
nations in Oregon, you w ill have to apply at your local w elfare office.
Q U E S TIO N : N ow that I have Medicare catastrophic protection, what
effect w ill this coverage have on my Medicare supplemental policy? I ’ m
wondering i f I should continue the supplemental policy?
A N S W ER : M edicare Parts A and B provide coverage fo r basic health
care costs, but neither pays fo r a ll medical expenses fo r a ll long term care.
Therefore, i f you w ant more complete health care coverage, you m ight
consider comparison shopping and selecting a supplemental policy. But
remember, starting in 1990, Medicare catastrophic coverage begins paying
covered medical insurance benefits only after your health care expenses
under that part o f Medicare exceed $1,370. A M edical p o licy w ould,
therefore, help pay fo r part o f those expenses incurred during the interim .
F or answers to specific concerns, contact your private insurer and your
M edicare carrier.
“
Q U E S T IO N : I w ould like to check to be sure my earnings have been
correctly reported to m y social Security record. Can I use the toll-free
number to do this?
A N S W ER : Yes. Just dial 1-800-234-5772 and the operator w ill arrange
to send you a Request fo r Earnings and B enefit Estimate Statement to
complete and return to Social Security. In response, you w ill receive a
detailed record o f your earnings, quarters o f coverage inform ation, and
estimates o f what you and your fa m ily w ill be due at your retirem ent, or your
death, or should you become disabled.
