Your Benefits

We raised your monthly benefit amount beginning December 1989 because the cost of living increased.

 

Work and Earnings Affect Payments

The monthly earnings test applies only to 1 year. That year is the first year a beneficiary has a non-work month after entitlement to Social Security benefits. Our records show that you had or will have at least one non-work month in 1990. If you ever go to work, we will pay benefits for each year based on your work and earnings for that year.

Information About Medicare

You are entitled to Medicare hospital and medical insurance beginning November 1988.

                    

We will send your Medicare card in about 4 weeks. You should take this card with you when you need medical care. If you need care before you receive the card, use this letter as proof that you are covered by Medicare.

                     

The pamphlet we have enclosed, “Basic Facts About Medicare and Other Health Insurance,” gives you more information about the Medicare program.

Other Social Security Benefits

The benefits described in this letter is the only one you can receive from Social Security. If you think you might qualify for another kind of Social Security benefit in the future, you will have to file another application.

                               

Do You Think We Are Wrong?

If you think we are wrong, you have the right to appeal. We will correct any mistakes and will look at any new facts you have. A person who did not make the first decision will decide your case.

          

• •

  You have 60 days to ask for an appeal.

• •

  The 60 days start the day after you get this letter.

• •

  You must have a good reason if you wait more than 60 days to ask for an appeal.

          

Your Responsibilities

Your benefits are based on the information you gave us. If this information changes, it could affect your benefits. For this reason, it is important that you report changes to us right away.

        

We have enclosed a pamphlet, “When You Get Social Security, Retirement or Survivors Benefits...What You Need To Know.” It tells you what you must be reported and how to report. Please be sure to read the part of the pamphlet which explains how work could changes your payments.
