Some people have misunderstood
the provisions of the 1954 Amend-
ments to the Social Security Act,
according to Janies B. Marley,
manager of the Austin District
Social Security Office.
"We have been asked quite otten
whether one will be able to qualify
already age 65 or over,” Mr.
Marley said.
for benefits as a farmer if he is
"The answer is that the farmer
already past his 65th birthday who
is continuing to operate a farm,
will qualify even sooner than the
younger farmer. Age does not
disqualify an individual from enter-
ing into the program. If he is ac-
records in 1955, paying1 his social
security tax on his farm income in
quired to participate by keeping h>s
1956, and then doing the same
tually operating a farm, he is re-
tiring for 1956. This second pay-
ment, made in 1957. would qualify
him for benefits if he is age 65 or
older by that time."
The answers to all questions
about social security can be secur-
ed by contacting the representative
of the Austin office who will be in
Cameron on Tuesday, April 12, at
the Department of Public Welfare,
