Bretherton, manager of the Long Beach office of the social security administration today reminded workers who have reached age 65 to call at his office for advice.

These people, if qualified, would be eligible for benefits during this layoff even though they anticipate returning to work later." Benefits may be paid retroactively for only three months so a delay in applying may result in loss of benefits. All persons age 65 or older who are no longer working in employment covered by the Social Security Act are urged to call at their local Social Security office as soon as possible. The Long Beach social security office is located at 423 Jergins Trust Building.
