QUESTION: May I notify the so­
cial security office of my new ad­
dress by phone?

must be made in writing and should
be signed by the person who gets the
check.
QUESTION: How can I find out if
my earnings have been reported by
my employer?
ANSWER: You may check youi
record of earnings by writing to the
Social Security Administration, Balti­
more, Maryland, asking for a state­
ment of your earnings. Your name,
social security number, birth date
and address must be shown on your
request; and it must be signed by
you. You can get such c
'
post card form at your social securi­
ty office .
QUESTION: When I applied for my
social security benefits I estimated
that my earnings for the year would
be $1700. Now it looks as if they will
be $2100. Should I file a revised esti­
mate now or wait until the end of
the year?
ANSWER: You should file a revis­
ed estimate with the Social Security
Administration right away; other­
wise, you might be overpaid in bene-
ifts which you would have to refund,
QUESTION: Why should you in­
quire before you retire?
ANSWER: The biggest advantage
is that this gives social security an
early start in processing your claim
for benefits. The goal is to get your
check for benefits to you at the ear­
liest possible date.
