Social security tips for under 65 workers and widows
William J Bennett in New Castle says retroactive social security payments after retirement mostly stop before 65 due to 1977 amendments. Under 65 applicants should apply by the month benefits start to avoid lost months. Widows ages 60 to 65 should apply in the worker’s death month to preserve months of survivors benefits. For details contact the New Castle office at 104 Margaret St. In Washington the EDA guaranteed a 100 million loan to Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel for a railroad ties plant at Monessen, with a $40 million Farmers Home Administration guarantee to install pollution control equipment.
