There is a special key to
prompt payment of social
security retirement benefits.
That key is early
preparation for filing your
claim. While the actual
processing of a claim only
takes a short time,
sometimes a longer period is
needed to get the necessary
evidence to support your
claim. By beginning early to
gather this evidence every
claimant can save time and
frantic last minute efforts.
The types of evidence
needed depend on a number
of factors such as whether
the person is employed or
self-employed, whether

It is suggested that anyone
who expects to retire in the

evidence needed in their
particular case. The

Q. My 67-year-old husband
recently had surgery for a
slipped disc. He will soon be
able to come home, but the
doctor says he will need to
use a wheelchair. Will
Medicare help pay for a
wheelchair?
C.T.,Elko
A. Yes, The medical in
surance part of Medicare
does help pay for the rental
or purchase of such durable
medical equipment as a
wheelchair when the
equipment is prescribed by a
doctor. Whether your
husband decides to purchase
or rent the equipment,
Medicare generally makes
monthly payments and these
payments are 80 percent of
the reasonable rental
charges.
Q. I have a friend who is
under 65, and she gets help
on her doctor bills and some
of her prescription drug
expenses. Is this possible
under Medicare?
J.A, Perry.
A. No. Your friend may be
getting help under Medicaid.
This program does help
people under 65 and, in some
States, pays for prescribed
drugs, eye glasses, and other
items not covered under
Medicare. Medicaid helps
certain needy and low
income people and can vary
from State to State. On the
other hand, Medicare is a
Federal program for people
65 or over. There are two
parts to Medicare - hospital
insurance and voluntary
medical insurance. The
coverage provided by
Medicare is uniform
throughout the Nation.
Q. I am a 63 year old public
school teacher and am paid
$350.00 per month for 12
months. I do not work during
the summer months of June,
July and August. I have
heard that other teachers
drew something, so would I
be eligible for my social

“Conduct yourselves
wisely toward outsiders,
making the most of the
time.” (Col. 4:5)
Most of the people 1 know
never seem to have enough
time to do the things they
want to do or know that they
need to do. Time is short. In
light of this fact, it is very
strange that we put off so
many things until tomorrow
that we know we will never
have enough time to do them
then. There are so many petty
things that occupy our time
and we leave undone so
many important things that
we may never have another
opportunity to do.
Around the turn of the
century, the pulpit of Trinity
Church in Copley Square,
Boston was occupied by that
great preacher Phillips
Brooks. On one particular
Sunday, Phillips Brooks rose
to speak to that large
congregation which filled the
Sanctuary week after week,
with an extra heavy burden
on his heart for them. He
knew these people. They had
security also for these three
months?
O.N. Perry
A. Yes. Although you are
paid over $140.00 per month
during these summer
months, you are eligible for
social security if you render
no services during this
period.
Q. Must I pay my doctor
for his services before I file
my claim for Medicare
reimbursement?
E. W., Perry
A. No. All you need is to
attach an itemized bill to the
Medicare request for
payment form which shows
who was treated, what for,
by whom, where, and the
charges.
Q. Is there a time limit as
to when I can file a claim for
reimbursement from
Medicare on my doctor bills
that I had furing 1971?
S.S. Perry
A. Yes. You must file your
claim for doctor bills in
curred from October 1, 1970
through September 30, 1971
by December 31, 1972.
Q. I am only age 23 and
have been working only
three years under social
security. I was injured in a
wreck and won’t be able to
go back to work for a year or
so. Could I draw any social
security?
A. J. Perry
A. If a person becomes
disabled before age 31 he will
not need as many work
credits to get disability
benefits as he does under the
regular disability law. In
your case, you have suf
ficient work to be insured for
disability benefits.

come to him for help with
their problems. He knew
that behind the smiling faces
of that Sunday morning
crowd there were numerous
problems and storms raging.
Many of them smiled, but
were very sad within. He
knew the spite, envy,
jealousy, and pride that
lurked in many hearts.
On this particular day he
spoke to those who refused to
genuinely forgive. He tried
to help them understand that
life is too short to hold on to
grievances, grudges, and
hatred day after day.
This is a part of what he
said;
“You who are letting
miserable misun
derstandings run on year
after year, meaning to clear
them up someday; You who
are keeping wretched
quarrels alive because you
cannot quite make up your
mind that now is the day to
sacrifice your pride and kill
them; you who are passing
men sullenly upon the street,
not speaking to them out of
some silly spite, and yet
knowing it would fill you with
shame and remorse if you
heard that one of these men
were dead tomorrow mor
ning; If you could know and
see and feel, all of a sudden
that the ‘time is short’, how it
would break the spell! How
you would go instantly and
do the things which you
might never have another
chance to do.”
It was said that after this
message by Phillips Brooks,
people who had not spoken to
one another for years,
smilled and greeted each
other, and discovered this
was what they had wanted
all along. Shouldn’t it be the
same in our relationships
today? So many things
between ourselves and
others are not as they should
be. We need to forgive and
forget. Life is too short to be
petty or unkind. In the words
of the New Testament book
of Colossians, we need to
“make the most of our
time.”
