By JACKIE STIVER Field Representative The Social Security Administration is conducting a nationwide campaign to assist the homeless. The homeless have the same basic needs as other people, but they also face someunique problems. The obvious one. of course, is that they have no fixed address, so they can’t be reached by mail or phone. They have limited exposure to news sources. Many are severely impaired, which makes it difficult for them to understand or communicate. And they have few, if any, financial resources In recognition of these problems, Social Security offices across the country are taking special steps to reach and serve the homeless. We are asking shelters, soup kitchens, churches, and other organizations to help us contact homeless people who may qualify for supplemental security income (SSI) or Social Security payments. These payments could enable homeless people to afford a permanent residence. The SSI. program makes monthly. payments to people who are 65 or older, disabled, or blind and have little or no income assets. Most states supplement the federal SSI payments and provide Medicaid. States may also offer a variety of social services. Also, under a 1983 change in the law, some people who are reisdents of‘'public emergency shelters can now receive SSI payments for up to three months during any 12-month period. This includes homeless people Prior to the change, people who lived in public emergency shelters were not eligible for SSI. Under the Social Security program, monthly benefits may be paid to disabled people, as well as to retired workers and their dependents and survivors of deceased workers Whenever possible. Social Security officials will go directly to shelters and other organizations to take applications from homeless people. . For more information, organizations should contact the Elkhart Social Security office at 327 W. Marion St., 294-5666. Questions And Answers Q. If I get Social Security benefits, can I also get SSI? A. It’s possible. Some people can receive money from both SSI and Social Security if they are aj»ed, blind or disabled, have little income, and do not own much. Contact the Elkhart Social Security office if you think you meet these requirements.

! ■ >

Q. If I disagree with a decision about my SSI claim, what can I do? A. If you don’t agree with our decision, you have a right to appeal. Contact the Elkhart Social Security office and ask for a free copy of the pamphlet “Your Right to Question the Decision Made on Your SSI Claim.” Q. How do I apply for SSI? A If you think you might be able to get SSI. or you are not sure, phone or visit your Social Security office right away. SSI payments can start only with the day you apply or the day you meet all the requirements, whichever is later. The people at the Social Security office will tell you how to apply. Q. Does Medicare pay for dental care? A. Medicare payments can help pay for dental care only if it invloves sugery of the jaw or related structures, setting fractures of the jaw or facial bones, or services that would be covered when provided by a doctor. If you need to be hospitalized because of the severity of a dental procedure. Medicare can cover your hospital stay even if the dental care itself is not covered by Medicare.

Tippy woman seeks help from governor

By JO STURGIS Staff Writer z The saga of the Tippecanoe River cleanup project continues with one local lake property owner, Barbara J. Ehrhardt, not sitting by and watching the project die from a “bureaucratic mess.” On October 15, Mrs. Ehrhardt drafted a letter to Governor Orr 'asking for some action on the river revitalization project. She stated the Tippecanoe property owners were promised work would start no later than August, but now the owners find the project is still on hold. “It would appear the real villain in this project may be the state rules or practices which bind us to the concept that contracting by bid-letting is the sole option available,” Mrs. Ehrhardt wrote. She asked the governor if a creative, innovative approach might be possible and added the success of the project depends on the governor and Jim Ridenour, director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. “The citizens of Kosciusko County need your help to protect our valuable water resources and millions of dollars of taxpayers’ property which could be damaged by another flood,” she concluded in the letter. Mrs. Ehrhardt sent a copy of the letter to State Sen. John B. Augsburger; State Rep. Thames Mauzy; Kosciusko County Commissioners Charles Lynch, Fredrick Gilliam and Maurice Dorsey; James Ridenour; DNR officials Bill Andrews, John Simpson and Dick Wawrzyniak; George Palmiter, river project consultant/supervisor hired by the DNR; Tom Hamilton,

Kosciusko County Flood Control Task Force and Dr. James Bohlin, Kosciusko County Lakes Council. The third bid-letting session held on Oct. 3 resulted in no acceptable bids. Warner and Sons, Elkhart, submitted the only bid, which was considerably higher than the $205,000 appropriated by the state for the project. Warner and Sons submitted a bid of $584,000 to clean 15.3 miles of the Tippecanoe River. • Mrs. Ehrhardt contacted State Sen. John Augsburger on Tuesday, Oct. 23, to discuss any action on the project. Sen. Augsburger assured Mrs. Ehrhardt that the state is most anxious to get this project underway. Sen. Augsburger stated the problem goes back to the bid-letting process and he is now exploring new alternatives such as completing the project on a work release program or by contacting smaller contractors in the local area who may be able to complete the project at a lower cost. He promised to call Mrs. Ehrhardt on Friday, Oct. 26, after he discusses these options with the governor. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ehrhardt says lake owners are continuing to write letters to the governor and she feels there is strong support from the owners on the lake to continue trying to complete this project. “Money has been budgeted for the project and I’m sure it will get done. The problem is getting through the bureaucratic mess in Indianapolis,” said Mrs.) Ehrhardt. “What keeps me going on this project is the belief that people do make a difference. We need to continue making our feelings known,” concluded Mrs. Ehrhardt.
