QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: My regular work
is not covered by the Social
Security Act. But I take time
off each Christmas season to
buy and sell trees for profit.
I've done this for several years.
Could I qualify for benfits on
this work?
ANSWER: If your income
from Christmas tree sales—
after deducting expenses con
nected with this business— is
at least $400.00 per year, you
are eligible for social security
coverage. You should ask your
nearest social security office I
about getting a card and pay-1
ing taxes on your income.
QUESTION: I have just1
bought the butcher shop where'
I used to work as an employee.
As I want to keep under social
security, please tell me what I
to do.
ANSWER: If your net profits
are at least $400 yearly, you j
will file a social security report
as part of your personal Feder
al income tax return. For each
i^ear that you net at least $400
fou will be credited with four
luarters yearly.
QUESTION: Do I have to be
•ompletely helpless to be found
'disabled” under the social se
urity law?
ANSWER: No, you don’t but
ou must have a disability or
mpairment which is so severe
t leaves you unable to “engage
a any substantial gainful ae
ivity.”
