QUESTION: I ’m retired. I
read that starting this year I
can earn $2,000 a year and still
get my full social security
payments. Is there any chance
that this amount w ill be in
creased in the future?
ANSW ER:
Yes.
Recent
changes in the social security
law provide that, as future
earnings levels rise, the amount
people can earn and still get
social security benefits w ill also
rise The first future increase in
the social security retirem ent
test w ill go into effect in 1974.
QUESTION: My wife had to
quit her job because of an illness
about two years ago. She never
applied for social security dis
ability benefits because she
always hoped she would recover
and be able to return to work
She died a month ago and I
understand that she could have
gotten social security benefits
for herself and our three child
ren if she had applied. Can
anything be done about this
now?
ANSWER: One of the recent
changes in the social security
law covers just such a case as
yours. You can contact any
social security office to file an
application to receive the re t
roactive benefits that your wife
and children may have been
entitled to.
QUESTION: I retired and
began getting monthly social
security payments when I was
63. I ’ll be 65 in the fall. Is it true
that I ’ll be enrolled in Medicare
automatically?
ANSWER: Yes, you w ill be
automatically signed up for both
the hospital and medical insur
ance parts of Medicare. The
medical part w ill cost you $6.30 a
month, but you can decline the
coverage if you do not wish to
pay the premiums for it.
