Avaiu ble For Viewing
About Your Social Security
Many people expect to see the
taxes they actually paid.
It is easier to understand the
difference when you think about
what the social security system
is all about. It's designed to
partially replace earnings lost
because of a worker's retire-
ment, death, or disability. Since
earnings replacement is the pri-
mary goal, the amount of the
benefit reflects considerations
designed to moderate the dec-
line in earnings.
Currently, monthly social sec-
urity cash benefits replace
about 55 percent of the monthly
pre-retirement earnings of the
low wage earner; about 42
percent of the pre-retirement
earnings of the average wage
earner, and about 30 percent of
the earnings of the high wage
earner. The difference is be-

By Carl Stewart
One of the points of confus-
ion that many people have
about their social security bene-
fits is the relationship between
the amount of their benefits and
• the social security taxes they've'
paid over the years.
Actually, there is no direct
relationship between the
amount of taxes you pay and the
amount of your benefit. The
amount of your social security
benefit is based on your aver-
age annual earnings, updated to
reflect changes in wage levels
over your working years.
Of course, since the more you
make the more you pay in social
security taxes up to a certain
point- or $22,900 in 1979- your
benefit check will reflect in a
genral way the fact that the
amount of your contributions

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, recognizing the im-
mense value of this unusual
natural area is proposing that
the Canaan Valley be protect-
ed through designation as a
National Wildlife Refuge. The
Valley's elevation, cool climate,
and curous geological origin
explain why it is sometimes
referred to as "a little bit of

If benefits were in fact bas-
ed on taxes paid, like the
premiums paid for private in-
surance, many people would get
a great deal less from social
security. This would mean that
the program would be unable to
fulfill its basic social purpose --

the Canaan Valley Alliance and
Refuge Information Service, a

and individuals whowant to see-
the Valley protected as a Nat.

The question often comes up
when people request a state-

good thing to do every 3 years
or so. The statement shows

imum level of earnings cov-
ered by the social security tax.
cause the lower wage earner
can least afford a reduciton in
earnings.
People who think of their
future benefits in terms o f their
present taxes tend to think of
their benefits in terms of get-
ting their money back from
social security. Sometimes they
forget that the nature of in-
surance is such that many will'
get much more than they paid in
while others, those who die
're unable to work because of
old age, death, or disability.
It is important that we under-
stand what social security is all
about so that we can under-
tand the issues being present-
ed about its future. If you have
any questions about your per-
sonal situation as a result of
something you've read or
heard, give us a call. We'll be
glad to help you.
Some Publications Are
Advertised Deceptively
Some books sold as social
security information are useful,
but there are others that are in-
accurate, misleading, over-
priced, and deceptively adver-
tised, a social security
spokesperson said recently.
The Social Secdrity Adminis-
tration doesn't discourage the
sale of commercial publica-
tions. At the same time, we
don't endorse any non-govern-
ment publication. People can
get free, accurate, up-to-date
publications and other informa-
tion about social security at any
social security office.
Social security information is
organized and illustrated in a
different way in some commer-
cial books. Some of them are
well done, but the information
in them isn't "secret" or "in-
side." If advertising suggests it
is, the advertising is false.
Some advertisingints that a
publisher has an official con-
nection with the Social Security
Administration and has access
to people's social security
records. This is never true. No
advertiser has access to other
people's social security records.
These records are confidential
under the law.
Dramatic claims for books
can be misleading, the repre-
sentative said. For example: an
advertisement says readers, will
learn "how to collect $300 a
month from social security at
age 30 while you are working
full time." The book tells you
what any social security office
will tell you without charge: if a
young father and mother are
both working under social
security and one dies, their
children may get monthly social
security payments.
People can call, write, or visit
any social security office for in-
formation about the retire-
ment, disability, survivors,
Medicare, and supplemental
security income programs.

Q. I am entering a Christian
Science sanatorium next
, month. Will Medicure pay for
my care?
A. Medicare hospital in-
surance can help pay for inpa-
tient hospital and skilled nurs-
ing facility services in a partici-
pating Christian Science
sanatorium if it is operated, or
listed and certified by, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston. For more information,
contact a social security office.
Q. My wife and I get
monthly SSl payments. Her
uncle died recently and left her
his house and land. Do we
have to report this to social
security?
A. Yes. You should notify
social Security if you or your
spouse becomes the owner of
any additional real estate. Any
change in your resources--
what you own--may affect your
SSI payments.
Q. Back in January, I retired
and started getting social
security cheeks. I know that if
I go back to work, my earnings
may affect my checks. But,
what about ineame I receive
from savings and Invest-
ments ?
A. When figuring what in-
come may affect your social
security checks, you must
count earnings from work of
any kind, whether or not it's
covered by social security, ex-
cept tips amounting to less than
$20 in a month with one
employer. However, income
from savings, investments, in-
surance, or royalties won't
affect your checks.
Q. I re,lye SSI payments.
A friend recently moved in
with me, and we are going to
share the household expenses.
Do I have to notify social
security of this change in my
living arrangements?
A. Yes. You must notify
social security if you begin liv-
ing with others and share in the
household expenses. You also
should let social security know
if there is any change in the
amount you or the others con-
tribute to expenses. These
changes might cause an in-
crease or decrease in your SSI
payments.
Q. I'm getting ready tn fill
out my lnceme tax return for
1978. I have to pay taxes on
the pension I get from my
union. Do l also have to pay
taxes on my social security
retirement payments?
A. No. Social security bene-
fits are not subject to Federal
income tax.

About Your Social Security
Many people expect to see the
taxes they actually paid.
It is easier to understand the
difference when you think about
what the social security system
is all about. It's designed to
partially replace earnings lost
because of a worker's retire-
ment, death, or disability. Since
earnings replacement is the pri-
mary goal, the amount of the
benefit reflects considerations
designed to moderate the dec-
line in earnings.
Currently, monthly social sec-
urity cash benefits replace
about 55 percent of the monthly
pre-retirement earnings of the
low wage earner; about 42
percent of the pre-retirement
earnings of the average wage
earner, and about 30 percent of
the earnings of the high wage
earner. The difference is be-

By Carl Stewart
One of the points of confus-
ion that many people have
about their social security bene-
fits is the relationship between
the amount of their benefits and
• the social security taxes they've'
paid over the years.
Actually, there is no direct
relationship between the
amount of taxes you pay and the
amount of your benefit. The
amount of your social security
benefit is based on your aver-
age annual earnings, updated to
reflect changes in wage levels
over your working years.
Of course, since the more you
make the more you pay in social
security taxes up to a certain
point- or $22,900 in 1979- your
benefit check will reflect in a
genral way the fact that the
amount of your contributions

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, recognizing the im-
mense value of this unusual
natural area is proposing that
the Canaan Valley be protect-
ed through designation as a
National Wildlife Refuge. The
Valley's elevation, cool climate,
and curous geological origin
explain why it is sometimes
referred to as "a little bit of
Candad gone astry." It provides

ibly fascinating assortment of

probability factors affecting his

benefits.
If benefits were in fact bas-
ed on taxes paid, like the
premiums paid for private in-
surance, many people would get
a great deal less from social
security. This would mean that
the program would be unable to
fulfill its basic social purpose --
to prevent widespread poverty
by enabling workers to contri-

The 25- minute col(Jr slide
'program is available through
the Canaan Valley Alliance and
Refuge Information Service, a
coordinating body for groups
and individuals whowant to see-
the Valley protected as a Nat.
ional Wildlife Refuge. Scouting
groups as well as homemaker
clubs and civic and service
organizations will find the pre-
sentation of interest and will
want to lend their assistance in
seeing this "natural treasure-

The question often comes up
when people request a state-
• ment of earnings from social
security, something that's a
good thing to do every 3 years
or so. The statement shows
reported earnings up to the
max-
imum level of earnings cov-
ered by the social security tax.
cause the lower wage earner
can least afford a reduciton in
earnings.
People who think of their
future benefits in terms o f their
present taxes tend to think of
their benefits in terms of get-
ting their money back from
social security. Sometimes they
forget that the nature of in-
surance is such that many will'
get much more than they paid in
while others, those who die
're unable to work because of
old age, death, or disability.
It is important that we under-
stand what social security is all
about so that we can under-
tand the issues being present-
ed about its future. If you have
any questions about your per-
sonal situation as a result of
something you've read or
heard, give us a call. We'll be
glad to help you.
Some Publications Are
Advertised Deceptively
Some books sold as social
security information are useful,
but there are others that are in-
accurate, misleading, over-
priced, and deceptively adver-
tised, a social security
spokesperson said recently.
The Social Secdrity Adminis-
tration doesn't discourage the
sale of commercial publica-
tions. At the same time, we
don't endorse any non-govern-
ment publication. People can
get free, accurate, up-to-date
publications and other informa-
tion about social security at any
social security office.
Social security information is
organized and illustrated in a
different way in some commer-
cial books. Some of them are
well done, but the information
in them isn't "secret" or "in-
side." If advertising suggests it
is, the advertising is false.
Some advertisingints that a
publisher has an official con-
nection with the Social Security
Administration and has access
to people's social security
records. This is never true. No
advertiser has access to other
people's social security records.
These records are confidential
under the law.
Dramatic claims for books
can be misleading, the repre-
sentative said. For example: an
advertisement says readers, will
learn "how to collect $300 a
month from social security at
age 30 while you are working
full time." The book tells you
what any social security office
will tell you without charge: if a
young father and mother are
both working under social
security and one dies, their
children may get monthly social
security payments.
People can call, write, or visit
any social security office for in-
formation about the retire-
ment, disability, survivors,
Medicare, and supplemental
security income programs.

Q. I am entering a Christian
Science sanatorium next
, month. Will Medicure pay for
my care?
A. Medicare hospital in-
surance can help pay for inpa-
tient hospital and skilled nurs-
ing facility services in a partici-
pating Christian Science
sanatorium if it is operated, or
listed and certified by, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston. For more information,
contact a social security office.
Q. My wife and I get
monthly SSl payments. Her
uncle died recently and left her
his house and land. Do we
have to report this to social
security?
A. Yes. You should notify
social Security if you or your
spouse becomes the owner of
any additional real estate. Any
change in your resources--
what you own--may affect your
SSI payments.
Q. Back in January, I retired
and started getting social
security cheeks. I know that if
I go back to work, my earnings
may affect my checks. But,
what about ineame I receive
from savings and Invest-
ments ?
A. When figuring what in-
come may affect your social
security checks, you must
count earnings from work of
any kind, whether or not it's
covered by social security, ex-
cept tips amounting to less than
$20 in a month with one
employer. However, income
from savings, investments, in-
surance, or royalties won't
affect your checks.
Q. I re,lye SSI payments.
A friend recently moved in
with me, and we are going to
share the household expenses.
Do I have to notify social
security of this change in my
living arrangements?
A. Yes. You must notify
social security if you begin liv-
ing with others and share in the
household expenses. You also
should let social security know
if there is any change in the
amount you or the others con-
tribute to expenses. These
changes might cause an in-
crease or decrease in your SSI
payments.
Q. I'm getting ready tn fill
out my lnceme tax return for
1978. I have to pay taxes on
the pension I get from my
union. Do l also have to pay
taxes on my social security
retirement payments?
A. No. Social security bene-
fits are not subject to Federal
income tax.
Apply for, Medicare 2 or 3
months before you reach 65 to
assure full protection at the
earliest time.
