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.

DON'T GET MAD A1
As we entered our favorite b
drug store the other day, we tl
were nearly bowled over by ti
an irate female stomping out.
"You'll either have to keep p
y o u r customers happy or F
widen your doors", we re- a
marked to the pharmacist, as \\
we hunted for a toothbrush
to match our wife's new
shower curtain.
"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

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

employed person will have
deductions made from his
benefits?
i. 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". However, in '
figuring the number of
checks payable to you for
the months before your 72nd
birthday, you must count
all your wages and net earnings
from self-employment
income during the entire
year in which your 72nd
birthday falls. (
J. Is there a limit to age in
regard to paying social
security tax?
t. No. So long as a person is i
self-employed or employed (
on a job covered by social
security, the tax must be
paid.

Will my earnings before I

A. Yes. All earnings during the
taxable year must be considered
in deciding if any
checks are due. You may,
however, be paid for any
month in which your earnings
do not exceed $100 or
you do not render substantial
services in self-imployment.
