I. V., Perry
A. No. You are not eligible
to receive a wife’s benefits
until you’re 62 unless you
have a child in your care who
is entitled to cash payments
on your husband’s work
record. But, if you’ve worked
long enough and recently
enough, you may be eligible
for disability benefits on
your own work record if your
disability will keep you from
working for a year or more.
Q. I’ll be 72 next month,
but I intend to go on working
as long as I can. I know I can
earn as much as I want after
I’m 72 and still get all my
social security checks. But
will my earnings from the
first part of this year, before
I was 72, still affect my
social security payments?
R. M., Perry
A. Yes. You will get a
social security check for

you work or earn. However,
your earnings for the entire
year in which you become 72

payments can be made to
you for the months you were
still 71.
Q. My son died recently
leaving a widow and a small
child who are now getting
monthly social security
payments. A neighbor told
me that I might be able to get
monthly checks as a parent.
My son did support me, but I
thought that a parent could
not get payments if a worker
left a widow and child. I s my
neighbor right or am I?
B. D„ Elko
A. Your neighbor is right.
You may qualify for a
monthly social security
payment if you are 62 and if
you were dependent on your
son for at least one-half your
support at the time of his
death. You should call,
write, or visit any social
security office for more
information about applying
for payments.
Q. I’m 66 and getting
monthly social security
retirement checks, and I’m
also working part time for a
church nursery. Since the
church has not decided .to
cover my part-time work by
social security, can these
earnings affect my monthly
checks?
G. W., Perry
A. Yes, if your total ear
nings for the year go over
$1,680. Earnings from any
work, whether or not
covered by social security,

However, income from
