Budget Hearings For United I Senior Hot Line I R i i Representatives of Boy Scouts Blackhawk Area council meet with members of Planning and Allocations committee of The United Way of McHenry County for new funding from 1979-80 campaign. Clockwise, from upper right, are Rick Bernotas and Richard Peters, United Way representatives. Lorrin Woodman, William Grogg, Jr., Chuck Buenger and Michael Poper outline plans and needs of Boy Scouts for 1980. The budget hearings of the Planning and Allocations panels for the United Way of McHenry County are a study in the people-helping-people process of United Ways throughout America Indeed, that is the basic premise of United Way, to reach out and assist one's neighbor without waiting for the government to do it. And best of all. anyone can participate in enriching community life through the multiplying organizations of the voluntary sector where profit and politics play no part. Once each year Budget Review panels, comprised of volunteers from the business community. meet with representatives of human service agencies to hear presentations outlining programs and financial needs of each agency. The panels study expenditures with a careful eye and decide on the amount of funding the United Way can reasonably offer. Rick Bernotas. chairman of the United Way of McHenry County Budget Review com­ mittee elaborated on this process He said. "The United Way does not. as is sometimes assumed, provide the total support of its member agen­ cies. With most types of agencies, the United Way allocation is intended to make up the difference between total agency expenditures • and support, that is. revenue from sources other than United Way." Members of the Budget Review panels are volunteers who offer their services on this Prairie Heritage Day A glimpse of prairie life will be offered during the McHenry County Conservation district's Prairie Heritage day at the Queen Anne Prairie cemetery. On Saturday. May 19. district guides will give interpretive tours of the Queen Anne prairie from 1 to 4 p.m. This one-acre cemetery, one of Illinois' finest prairie remnants, is located on Queen Anne road, north of Charles raod. near Woodstock. Besides pointing out the rare prairie plants thai grow in the cemetery, guides will tell of the hardships of life on the prairie In the early 1800's pioneers moving west through the prairie regions buried their dead in the paths of the wagons BEST OF PRESS One Is Enough A n o l d - f a s h i o n e d woman is one w ho tries to make one husband last a lifetime. -Journal,Coffeyville, Kan.

An individual may be eligible if countable income is below $189.40 a * month and resources do not exceed $1500. Not all income is counted in determining a person's eligibility, nor are all resources. A person also must be a U.S. resident and either a citizen or lawfully admitted immigrant.

Assistance in providing this information or in making an application for SSI benefits can be done by telephone. Q How much in resources can an eligible couple have and still receive SSI payments? A. A couple may have resources of up to $2,250 and be eligible for SSI payments. Not all resources count in deter­ mining eligibility. The home the person lives in and the land around it are not counted, regardless of value. Personal effects or household goods with a total market value of $1,500 or less and life insurance policies with a total face value of $1,500 or less per person are not counted A car may also be excluded depending upon its value To find out if they qualify for SSI. persons should telephone their Social Security office. Q. How much must a person be paid in 1979 to earn a quarter of Social Security coverage? A.%i 1979 a person earns one quarter of coverage for each $260 of covered annual ear­ nings. No more than 4 quarters can be' earned in a year, however, regardless of total earnings. Q Will Medicare pay for a prescription drug when it is prescribed by a physician for a specific illness? A. No. Medicare medical insurance does not pay for drugs and medicines that can be self-administered even if purchased by prescription Q. If a person is receiving Social Security benefits, is it necessary for them to apply for retirement benefits at age 659 A. No, disability benefits will automatically be changed to retirement benefits when a disabled person reaches 65. Q. What is meant by redetermination of sup­ plemental security income payments0 A. The SSI law requires that each person's case be periodically reviewed to make certain that he or she is still eligible for SSI and that his or her payment amount is correct. This review is called a redetermination In most in­ stances. the redetermination can be conducted by telephone. The Social Security office will notify a person when it is time for a redetermination Write or call us at Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal's Senior Action centers at 160 N. LaSalle.
