Shop in McHenry SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION ^ The following questions were frequently asked by residents of the Lake - Mchenry county area during the past several weeks: Question: I signed up for Medicare insurance in January, 1966. When will I receive my health insurance card? Andwer: In general, if you Sent back the enrollment card you received in the mall before Jan. 15, 1966, you should have your health insurance card by now. If it hasn't come, of if it doesn't show your eligibility for both Medical and Hospital insurance, contact your nearest social security office. Question: Wasn't there a law recently passed which permits everyone 72 or over to receive social security - Oven if they had never worked under the program? Answer: There was a recent change in the law; however, everyone 72 Or over would, not qualify. Anyone who is not receiving a monthly social secur« ity or .railroad retirement benefit, or some other federal state, or local retirement payment may be eligible. Those receiving public retirement payments of less than $35 per month for a single person or $52.50 for a couple, may apply for the difference between their present payment and the amount, of the special social security benefit. It is estimated that about "609 individuals living the the Lake-Mc- Henry area will qualify for the benefit. Question: I received my health insurance card but my name was shown incorrectly. Should I correct it myself? Answer: You should not change the writing on the face of the card. If your name or any other entry Is wrong, ask your social security office to obtain another one for you. In this way; you will also correct any mistake in your social security record Question: I will be 65 later this year, when should I sign up for Medicare? Answer: There is a sevenmonth enrollment period during which a person reaching 65 after May 31, 1966 may sign up. This period includes the month of his birth, the months before, and the S months after. However, protection under Medicare can begin with the month you are 65 only if you signed up before that month. Any delay extending beyond the 7 month period may result in a higher premium and lost insurance protection for two years or more. Question : Why does the social security administration keep bothering me for proof of age when I have already submitted my discharge papers which show my date of birth? Answer: Social Security Administration studies indicate that securing the best evidence available makes a real difference in paying te right amount of benefits. For persons eligible, an error of one year in the date of birth can mean a difference of $2500.00 too much or too little; consequently, a public record of birth recorded at or near the time of birth is the strongest bind of evidence. If a person was born in a: part of the country that does not have good birth records for the time of his birth other evidence will be used. In this case, the Social Security administration may, at Government expense, verify the date by obtaining an early census record. Question: An elderly aunt of mine did not sign up for Medicare previously and she now wishes this coverage. I heard that the March 31 deadline was extended - is this true? Answer: Older people in the Lake - McHenry area who did not sign up earlier have been given a little more time. In legislation signed by President Johnson last week, Congress extended until May 31 the deadline for individuals 65 or over prior to January 1966 to enroll for Medicare. Tour aunt should call at her local social security office as soon as possible and complete the necessary applications. Individuals having any questions about the social security program should contact their local office.

ITCO CORP.--FsaidiiM ftfo Box 457--Kansas City, Mo. 64141 (816) BE 1-2141 Straight answers and full truths , about electric heat 4r- > (for the people who plan to •' buy or Prank answers .about electric heat for those of you who are planning to spend 20 thousand dollars, or more, for a new home that you'll probably live in for the next 10 or 20 years. You owe it to yourself to investigate the many advantagesof electric heat. --As a background, you should know there are 8 million people in the United States now living in electrically heated homes. Estimates indicate that this year 27% of homes being built will have electric heat. And, by 1970, over half of all new homes will be heated electrically. Let's look into the why's and wherefore's. Just how happily can you live with electric heat? Properly installed, the comfort and convenience of electric heat far surpasses anything you've ever experienced before. For example: you can step from your shower in the dead of winter and still feel warm. Baby can play on the floor when it's 20 below outside, and not be chilled. You'll even discover yourself cleaning less because electric heat is so dirtfree. Proper installation assures comfort Commonwealth Edison will be pleased to consult with your architect or contractor to assure that your electric heating system is designed for your house and installed in accordance with approved engineering standards. Insulation should 'also be installed ac- «0 J&l Hnvy black line indicates proper insulation. 7 cording to recommended standards; When an average six-room house is properly insulated at the time of construction, it will add'less than 1% to the total cost. Good insulation will not^only repay this investment in less than j!years by cutting heat loss, but will acja greatly to your comfort. And in the Summer your home will be cooler, too. With elect?ic heat, you can pick the type of heat you want for your new home. There are 5 basic types of flameless electric heating equipment. Depending on your heating requirements, one system can be used separately, or several may be teamed together. If space is at a premium, or you want room-by-room temperature control, electric baseboard units or ceiling cable probably will work best. The electric heat pump either heats or cools, depending on the outside temperature. Electric central heating systems which use electrically-heated warm air or electrically- heated hot water are available in a variety of types to fit any need. They can be combined with electric central airconditioning systems to provide yearround comfort. Electric wall panel heaters provide radiant heat and are best suited for bath and dressing rooms or other areas where space is limited. What ^bout the cost of electric heat? All things Considered, electric heat will probably cost you somewhat more than gas heat. For example, you should expect to spend about $200 per year for electric heat in a properly insulated six-room house--or about $60 more than gas heat. This does not take into account maintenance and decorating savings with electric "heat. - > • However, electric heat rates , have steadily declined. Since 1958. Commonwealth Edison has reduced electric heat rates more than 50% and still further reductions are expected for the future. Electrie Kfeaft as designed to outlast y@iBf Mrtgag® (even if if s for 30 years). After 15 years of operation, during which you would have little, if any, maintenance, look what has happened to your friend with gas heat. During this same 15 years, chances are he will have replaced his furnace (at $300)--paid out another $40 to run the pilot light 15 summers, and paid an additional $225 for furnace cleaning, maintenance, and a big supply of filters. Electric heat's great for growing families, too. How many of your friendfr have outgrown their homes a few short years after they bought them? They plan to add a room or two, and come face-to-face with the old bugaboo--heating the new area. With gas, frequently they must buy a new and bigger furnace or settle for lessthan- satisfactory space heaters. Not so with electric heat. You t add as much heating capacity as you need to your new wing almost as simply and inexpensively as adding new wiring/ That's the story! Anyone about to spend the money a house costs these days ought to know . he's spending his money wisely. We happen to think that your heating dollar will be far better invested in modern electric heat, and we've tried to show you why.
