How can I tell whether my services in self-employment are substan- tial? ANSWER: This depends on the amount of time you devote to your business, the kind of work you do, how your work compares with work you did in past years, and other circum stances of your particular case You can get a special booklet that gives more details about “substantial services” from your local social security office. Ask for Booklet 23. QUESTION: I intend to go on working just as long as I pos sibly can. How will my earn ings affect my social security benefits after I reach 72 next; year? ANSWER: You can get a so cial security check for every month beginning with the month of your 72nd birthday, no matter how much you work or earn. However, your earn ings in the entire year in which you become 72 are counted in figuring what benefits can be paid to you for months of that; year while you were still 71. QUESTION: If my estimate o fearnings will permit some social sceurity payments to be made to me for a year do I have to wait until the end of the year to get these payments? ANSWER: No. After enough benefits have been withheld to take account of your estimated earnings, your monthly benefits win be started. MUSGROVE Service Station AMOCO GAS AND OIL 17.
