SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU The social security office wants to talk with you if you are of retirement age and have not yet inquired about your social security. A considerable amount of money is stdl being lost each year by area residents who wait too long to inquire after they reach retirement age according to Heroert O. Bultemeier, district manager in Elkhart. Many do not know that they don't have to retire completely to get benefits — that they may work some, even for more than SI2OO, and still collect some social security benefits. A few minutes of your time in visiting the social security office when you reach retirement age, Bultemeier said, may result in added income to you even before you completely retire. Full information on how your earnings from work affect your benefits is easily obtained at your social security office. Ask for booklet O.XSI-23 It tells in detail how earnings affect your social security benefits. The office is located at 515 S. Third street, in Elkhart.
