** QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: My husband is
now receiving Social Security
benefits. I will be 62 in six
months. When should I file for
benefits as his wife?
ANSWER: You should con
tact (visit or write) your Jun
eau Social Security office,
three months before you are 62.
Tell them you wish to file. Give
them your name, your hus
band’s name, your social secur
ity number, and your date of
birth. The Juneau office will
send you the necessary papers
to complete and sign. You will
need some proof of your age,
such as a birth certificate or
baptismal certificate.
QUESTION: I failed to se
cure the social security num
ber from one of my employees.
Is it possible for your Juneau
office to furnish the Social Se
curity number if I submit my
reDort and Dav the tax’
ANSWER: No. Because of
the fact that thousands of work
ers have the same name it is
impossible to identify a per
son’s account by name only.
You should submit your report
timely, then attempt to secure
the employee’s social security
number as our accounting divi
sion will send a request for this
number within a few months.
You will receive such a request
for each period an employee’s
number is missing, even though
it might be the same employee.
QUESTION: I’m a woman 61
years old—I’ve worked when
ever posible and have been told
that I have the required num
ber of “quarters” to be eligible
for Social Security because I
have not worked too much and
my wages have been small.
What I’d like to know is if
there’s a minimum payment—
and could I get it at age 62?
ANSWER: Yes, there is a
minimum payment, provided a
person has worked long enough
under social security to be “in
sured.” At age 65, the minimum
amount is $40.00 a month. A
woman, may, if she wishes, file
her social security at age 62,
the payment is reduced by 20%.
So, the minimum payment for
a woman at 62 is $32.00.
