** QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: May I continue
to pay the social security tax
on the income from my busi
ness after I reach retirement
age so I can eventually be elig
ible for benefits? I understand
I need 8 more quarters.
ANSWER: As the social se
curity tax is compulsory, re
gardless of age of the self-em
ployed individual, if his net
yearly profits are at least $400
a year, he must report his earn
ings. You, of course, will be
credited with four quarters
each year your self-employ
ment income is taxable.
QUESTION: I have a maid
who works only two days a
week. Must I report her wrages
for social security since she
does not work full time?
ANSWER: If you pay her $50
or more in cash wages in any
3-month period, ending March
31, June 30, September 30, or
December 31, you should de
duct social security from her
wages and pay an equal
amount yourself. It is the em
polyer’s responsibility to make
this return to the Internal Rev
enue Service.
QUESTION: I understand
my monthly social security
check will be permanently re
duced if I decide to retire at
62. What effect will this have
on my wife’s benefits? She is 3
years younger and has never
worked.
ANSWER: The new changes
will not affect her payments.
If she takes her payments as
soon as she reaches 62. she will
get 75 percent of the amount
that would have been payable
if she had waited until 65.

F. Bradley, who made the re
port, concluded that patients
over 50 years, who have had
diabetes for less than 10 years,
are those most likely to benefit
from DBI.
DBI is the newest of the oral
antidiabetic drugs. It is known
chemically as phenethylbiguan
ide and differs from other oral
agents in that it is not a sul
fonylurea.
Of the 55 patients considered
in the report. 32 (52 per cent)
were maintained with DBI
alone, while the remaining 23
required daily supplemental
insulin.
Eighty-two per cent of the 55
patients were recorded as
“good” or "fair” with regard to
control of diabetes. Side effects !
were not significant, and no
evidence of toxicity was ob
served in liver or kidney func
tion or mood studies.
