YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
The Eas' Point Social Security office Is open on Saturdays on a permanent basis from 8 a.m. to
12 p.m., according to Don Skaggs, district manager. Skaggs said that this Is primarily for the
convenience of persons who have social security business to transact but find It difficult to con
tact the office during regular week-day hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30
p.m. In fact, It Is Impossible for many people to do so without losing time from their jobs. How
ever. the Saturday hours are not limited to ary group of people. Anyone who prefers to contact
the office on Saturday is L ited to do so.
Due to Medicare and ithe. recent changes in Social Security, more and more people find they
have social security business to transact. Skaggs says the Social Security Administration wants
to make It as convenient for these people as possible. Also, the extended office hours are in
keeping with the Federal Government’s aim to provide better service to all citizens who have
government business to transact.
Failure to apply for Social Security benefits before age 65 may result In delay In Medicare
coverage and less of benefits, says Mr. Skaggs. He urges all eligible persons In South Fulton
County zones 11, 20 and 31, Carroll, Clayton, Douglas, and Fayette county, to apply In the 3-month
period before they reach 65.
Many workers find they are eligible to receive some Social Security benefits even though they
continue to work full time. Skaggs stated workers who earn $1,500 or less In a year will get all
their Social Security benefits. For workers who earn more than $1,500 In a year, the general
rule is that one dollar In benefits will be withheld for each two dollars he earns from SISOO to
$2700. In addition, one dollar in benefits will be withheld for each one dollar of earnings over
$2,700.
Skaggs emphasized that, regardless of a worker’s total earnings in a year, benefits are payable
for any month In which he neither earns wages of more than $125 nor works In his own business.
After a worker reaches 72 there is no limit on his earnings.
Slxty-flve year old workers who sign up for retirement benefits will automatically get hospital
Insurance protection under medicare beginning with the month they are 65. The 65-year old
worker will also have the option of electing medical Insurance (doctor bill Insurance), which costs
him $3 a month.
Skaggs emphasizes that the doctor bill insurance coverage can begin with the month the worker Is
65 only if he signs up during the three-month period before his 65th birthday. Delay in signing
up means coverage will begin at a later date and could be lost completely.
Full Information about tills and all Social Security matters is available, Skaggs stated, at the
Social Security Office in East Point. The telephone number is 766-7561,

CHIROPRACTIC
By DR, CHARLES A. CORLEY |
SACROILIAC STRAjn
The most common of all on the job spinal injuries is
sacroiliac strain. This is one of the most painful and dis
abling injuries that occur. A sacroiliac strain is when the
sacrum (tailbone) slips from Its normal position in re
lationship with the bones of the pelvis. There is extreme
muscular and ligamentous strain. Pain is very Intense
and the use of the legs can become nearly impossible.
Often the large sciatic nerve can become involved, in
creasing disability. The body assumes a bent forward
posture at the waist in the standing position and attempts
at standing straight cause excruciating pain. Sacroiliac
strains are serious and can lead to a chronic weakness
if proper procedure is not followed at once. Chiroprac
tic has had wonderful results in most cases of racroHiac
strain.
