Most Widows To Receive Most, but not all, aged widows and dependent widowers will receive an increase in their social security checks, starting next month, Dwight Biiiiogs, social security manager in Beckley, advised today. As with most a increases in benefits, widows will not have to do anything to get this increase, Billings stated. It will be figured automatically and included in the Feb.

3 checks. Regrettably some of those who get increases may not get as much as they expected, while a few will receive no increase at all, Billings explained. Judging from the questions social security has been getting, there's some confusion about this. In explanation, Billings gave the following information. It has been estimated that increases will go to 89 per cent of the 3 million widows "who get monthly payments based on their late husbands' social security records.

About 2 out of every 5 of these widows will get 21.2 percent more than they were getting, while approximately half will get increases ranging from about 1 per cent to 21 per cent. The full 212 per cent increase will be paid to women who laried getting widows benefits 65 or later, where their eceased husbands did not take etireraent benefits until age 65 older or died before becom- ng entitled to retirement senefits, Billings noted. Previously a. widow's benefit ould be no more than er cent of the amount that vould have been payable to her usband at age 65. Smaller increases will be paid widows.whose benefits began efore 65.

For example, Billings aid, a widow who started getting payments at 62 will now et 82.9 per cent of her hus- and's benefit, where previously he got 82.5 per cent" Widows who get no increase under the law will be mostly ole survivors whose husbands vould have qualified for only minimum retirement benefits, killings said. No widow's benefit will be below what it has been Because of this change in the aw. Some examples of the per cen- age of a workers primary insurance amount that a widow or vidower may receive are as ollows: at age percent; age 77.2; age 62 82.9; age 63 88.6; age 64 94.3; and at age 65-100 percent There is only one group oi widows, Billings cautioned, who vill need to check with soda security to see if they may be due higher benefits. These are widows who are receiving retirement benefits based on their own employment Because of the increases in widow's benefits, they may now eligible for a larger benefi applying on their deceased spouse's record.

With Fake Clients A major effort to identify unscrupulous income tax return preparers, has begun, according to Hugh E. Jones, district director Internal Revenue Service for West Virginia. He said that IRS employes In West Virginia will have returns filled out by preparers in their offices from now until April 16. These employes will observe the preparation of these returns by posing as clients. This program does not mean that the IRS is condemning every return preparer.

The industry as a whole provides an important and valuable service to the taxpaying public. A similar program which the IRS conducted last year revealed that many return pre parers were counseling taxpayers to deliberately understate their income tax liabilities. i i i the need for a program this year also to i i unscrupulous return preparers. The IRS will also be auditing income tax returns prepared by some of the unscrupulous preparers. In making the investigations last year, the IRS found that some preparers were including fictitious dependents, increasing itemized deductions or omitting income on returns they prepared.

This year, the IRS will not only look for these methods of understating the income tax liability but for new methods or schemes.
