s fesyriau Social Security ■' I" Law Changes To Help Students A recent change in the Social Security Law will help many Oklahoma students continue their education. If you were getting social security benefits because one of your parents died, be­ came disabled or retired, and your benefits were stopped be­ cause you became 18 years of age, you may now be able to get checks until you are 22 if you are attending school full time. Also, if you are a full* time student under 22 and un­ married, but have never receiv­ ed social security benefits be­ cause you were over 18 whenone of your parents retired, became . disabled , or died, you may be eligible for payments now. Re­ troactive payment can be made for months in which a student was attending school full time as far back as Januray, 1965. If you believe you may be el- iglible for these benefits , con­ tact your Oclahoma City social security office immediately. The address is 200 N.W. 4Qi, Ok­ lahoma Citv.
