lar to those mentioned above

ments These people should get

ity district offices promptly a-
bout filing new applications Mr
McCain noted
Disabled workers whose social
security disability benefits were
reduced or were not payable be-
cause they received workmen's
compensation or other Federal
disability payments will begin to
receive the full amount of their
social security disability pay-
ments (These people do not have

Under the amendments it is
easier for certain employees of
na-prof it organizations a n d

There is a slight change in
the rules on how much social
security beneficiary may earn
