Paul St. Miklossy, Dec. 18, 1963 Treasurer PROBLEMS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY Question: Although I am now 65, I have been working in my own business, and I do not expect to retire. Would there be any advantage to my applying for retirement benefits even though I expect to earn more now than in the past? Answer: It would be to your advantage to apply. It is possible for you to have some earnings and still receive some social security benefits. This would depend on the amount of your monthly benefit and on the amount of your yearly earnings. Also, for any month in which you are not actively working in your business you can still be paid a full benefit regardless of your yearly earnings. You should discuss this further with your Social Security office. Question: I am 37 years old and will be 38 in September, 1964. I am not able to work and will never be able to work again. I have worked under social security since 1953 and I have paid my social security taxes. Is there any way that I can possibly draw social security now or in the near future, as I need the money badly? Answer: I cannot say definitely that you can receive social security benefits now or in the near future based upon your disability. You should contact the Social Security office right away and make application for disability benefits. You will be assisted in getting the necessary medical reports and evidence to prove your claim. After the necessary documents have been obtained, your case will be reviewed by a team of doctors and you will be notified as to whether or not you are entitled to receive disability insurance benefits. Question: Would you please tell me how to go about getting a birth certificate? I am now 62, and I was born in a year when births were not recorded. I would appreciate any information you could give. Answer: It is not necessary for you to get a delayed certificate of birth to prove your age for social security purposes. I suggest that you contact the Social Security office right away and take what proofs you have with you. A family record, the family Bible, an old insurance policy, census records, baptismal records or any old document showing the month, day and year of your birth may be sufficient. If the proofs you have are not sufficient, then you will be assisted in securing a document that will be acceptable.
