RC&D In 1968, almost half of all retirement benefits awards to men were reduced because the beneficiaries elected to retire before age 65. A Social Security Representative will be in Kanab at the Courthouse Thursday, September 11, at 9 a.m. to discuss these and other problems and questions concerning Social Security and Medicare. In the year 1961, when the option of taking reduced benefits at age 62 was extended to men, it was assumed that the number taking early retirement would decline once the backlog of men in the age group who had not been working because entitled to benefits. The anticipated decline has not occured, and early retirement has remained popular either because many men have sufficient resources to make early retirement attractive, or they have difficulty finding full employment in the years just proceeding their decision to retire early. In comparing early retirees with men who wait until age 65 to claim benefits, men earning less than $2,400 in their last year of work was almost three times as high among retirees at age 62 as among men taking cash benefits at age 65. The percentage of men not working the year before entitlement was more than twice as large as among aged 65. 62-6- 4 Heaton descendenfs Que Johnson will fill one tackle slot and the other goes to Terry Glover and Dilworth Perkins.
