Card Enclosed With Security Checks Causes Little Alarm
Harold Whiteside of Joliet stresses that the card with social security checks arriving in early December is not alarming. It targets people earning more than 1200 dollars in 1961, with two statements about earnings in 1960 and 1961. If neither applies, discard the card. Many misread it and fear government cuts. the main issue is failure to read carefully.
