When he brought them home. he

SECURITY FOR YOU
Romance
Figures in
Retirement
By RAY HENRY

Romance and Social Security
may seem like a strange pair.
But, sometimes they get together
Take the case of a Memphis
widow who was nearing the age
when she would be eligible for
Social Security payments;
| She was planning marriage
And. being meticulous about her
personal affairs, she called the
local Social Security Office and
asked:
when I reach retirement age
| is it better to draw benefits as the
widow Of my husband who died
in 1850. Or, would it be to my
advantage to marry the 65-year-
old man to whom l am en-
igaged?"
Rule Explained
The Social Security officer ex-
planned to her that. if she re-
married, she would not be eligible
ito payments as a wife-no matter
what her age-for three years
] "Oh, my!" she responded, "it
pays to go into these things.
just don't think it's worth it,
| Then. in an effort to give her
the complete story, the officer
explained that if her second hus-
band should die she'd be eligible
for payments as his widow if she
had been married to him at least
ia year before his death.
well, in that case" she said,
I'm just go ahead with my plans.
Thank you so much"
Whether she went ahead with
her plans, the officer doesn't
know.
But. the story does illustrate
that knowing the ms and outs
Iof the Social Security program
can have an effect on our plan
ning-even our romance plans
Hidden Meaning
1t also has a hidden meaning
Keeping up to date on Social
Security changes is important.
For example. since the Mem.
phis widow called the local Office
Congress has added a new
wrinkle to the law covering the
eligibility of widows to Sofia
Security payment after they've
married a second time.
In the past, a widow of re-
Itirement age must have beer
married at least a year to hel
second husband to be eligible
for payments based on his work
under Social Security. If hel
husband were to die during the
first year of their marriage. she
could neither get payments based
on her first husbands work rec
ord nor on her second husbands
Now, however, if she remarries
and her second husband dies
during the first year of marriage,
she's eligible for payments based
on her first husbands record.

realize that her parents objec-
lions are serious and call for a
good deal of caution. The man
lis not only older and more So
Iphisticated, but failed in an ear
Ilier marriage. Perhaps that was
entirely his wife's fault, but it
remains a fact that he did not

Anne does not appear quite

think. She shows that she is

lbelliousness.
But she should realize that it

man, who claims he is really
very insecure-except when he

ment of a very calculating man.
Anne should be willing TO give

more time to observe tfiis man.

his fat neighbor.

active than in the past; you
