Although I am 65 years old. 1 am still work in it nn / * * r> w * part-time basis. Can I still collect any benefits? A. You can make up to $1,200 A a year and still receive a social security check for every month of that year. Q. Suppose my earnings exceed $1,200 a year, is there C a way to determine how many months benefits I may receive in a year? /j A. If you are an employee with earnings exceeding $1,200 a year, your excess earnings are determined in multiples of $80 ? for every $80 or fractional part of $80 over $1,200, you will lose one month's benefit. However, no deduction can be imposed for any month in which you did not earn $100, regardless of your total ^ earnings for the year. Q. Arc all earnings subject to the so-called "earnings /s test"? A. Yes, earnings from both covered and non-covered employment or self-employment are counted in deter- r mining whether deductions will be imposed. Q.

"I could have ended up in court trying to keep her happy," he replied. "S h e * wanted me to renew a pre- ^ scription and her doctor had ^ marked it 'not renewable.' It would've been against the law ^ for me to renew it." We indicated interest and lie went on to tell us that there are city, state and fed- ^ eral rules telling him what he may do and what he mustn't do. He may not, as he said, renew a prescription if the doctor has marked it "not renewable." The customer has to get another prose rip lion from tho doctor. If the law requires a prescription for a certain drug, the druggist can't sell it without a proscription. He mustn't sell a larger quantity at a time than the prescription calls for. If the doctor specifies a certain brand of a drug, the prescription must be filled with that '5 cnClAL "r- ACCOUNT r POOOH 9 I HAS BEEN ESTABLISH!

A self-employed person who does not render "substantial services" in any month will not be subject to deductions for any such month. J. Is there an age limit involved in the "earnings * test"? i. A beneficiary over aqe 72 does not come under the "earnings test".
