Questions and Answers

Q. - am 81 years old and
retired two years ago. I have
paid the maximum amount every
year since Social Security be-
came law. IF I do not work any,
more how will this affect my
benefits when I am old enough
to draw them and how much
would I receive?
A. - Assuming the inquirer is
a male, his benefit at age IS
would be approximately $1,000.
If female is inquiring, her bene-
fit might be somewhat reduced,
depending on whether she would
elect to receive her benefit be-
tween age So and 65. Benefits are
based on average monthly earn
ings. In arriving at this average,
total earnings (starting with
either 1i1I37 or 1I1j5D are
divided by the number of mon
tbs in the years elapsing from
the starting date to the year in
which the workers reaches re-
tirement age. However, before
dividing, 5 years of low or no
earnings are dropped.
The fact the INQUIRER would
have no earnings for IA wears
before retirement age would, OF
course, affect the amount Of his
benefit. However, only Of those
years with no earnings would be
using in figuring his average
monthly earnings-the basis or
which benefits are paid.
The booklet "How to Estimate
Your Social Security Payments
explains in non-technical terms
the method used in arriving al
the benefit amount. This book
let may be obtained, free OF
charge, from the local social
security office.

BY WALTER FISCHMAN
If you are an average person, you like
to think of yourself as a straight
shooting, aboveboard, 100 per cent
honest citizen. And you probably are.
However, there's one flaw in this
sterling picture. Most people are 100
per cent honest only about SO per
cent of the time.
Why do we bother to lie? | put that
question to psychologists, market re-
searchers and Census people. Surpris-
ingly enough, the reasons are mild
and gentle:
We fb to be kind - to spare others
the impact of too-frank answer.
We 6b because it's easier when the
truth might be long and involved or
even hard to believe.
. And we fb in order to conform so
that other people will think we are
just like they are.
But there is one encouraging aspect
to the pattern. People almost never
lie about anything they consider i'm
portant.
